I have a safety tip to prepare for storms or earthquakes if you have pets.

Start by creating an emergency kit that consists of essential items like water, food, medications, veterinary records, a first aid kit, and comfort items such as blankets and toys. Store the kit in a waterproof container and keep it in an easily accessible location. Be sure to have a carrier on hand. Also, make sure your pet has proper identification that includes a collar with tags containing updated contact information and a microchip with current registration details. For all your family members locate a safe and secure shelter inside or near your home where everyone can take refuge during a storm. This area should not be near any windows or doors and preferably an interior room or basement. Please take these necessary precautions to be safe friends!
