The theme of safety and disaster preparation continues!<\/p>\n

The challenge this week is to make sure your house is as prepared as possible. Make sure your smoke alarms have batteries in them, carbon monoxide alarms are set to detect carbon monoxide at low levels. Clear any dead plants and trim trees in your yard. Make a checklist of what to bring with you in the event of an evacuation, and make sure your whole family knows the evacuation plan and meeting spot!<\/p>\n
