Are you ready?
No one likes to think about the 'worst-case' scenario, but when it comes to preparedness, it's part of the planning. Being prepared means you have a plan, resources, and awareness of the risks. It is not paranoia, but rather taking the opportunity to anticipate and respond appropriately.
One way to prepare is to have a 'kit' ready. Some of the items you should have in the kit:
-flashlight and batteries (change out the batteries regularly)
-first-aid kit
-matches
-copies of important documents
-extra clothes for each person in the household
-medication list or medication supply (talk to your doctor)
-identification
