1)     CHANGE the batteries in your Smoke Detectors, Carbon Monoxide detectors and your All Hazard Weather Radios at the same time you change your clocks. Also, please test the alarm to make sure they work properly.

2)  Begin assembling a Family Emergency Plan in the event we are impacted by a natural disaster and you become separated from your family.
