How do I respond to a natural disaster warning?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Follow instructions from local authorities immediately. Charge your phone and devices. Fill your vehicle's gas tank. Gather your emergency kit and important documents. If advised to evacuate, leave immediately with your go bag. If sheltering in place, move to the safest room in your home, typically a basement or interior room without windows.

Why It Matters

Delaying action during a disaster warning can mean the difference between safety and danger. Authorities issue warnings to save lives.
