Before an Emergency: Build a Kit and Make a Plan
Local emergencies rarely give us much time to prepare. A severe storm, a fire, or any other unexpected event can suddenly disrupt our environment and the routines we depend on. Without warning, our access to shelter, food, safe water, medications, and transportation can be impaired for extended periods, threatening our well-being. Stay prepared with these steps >
When severe weather strikes, knowing what to do can make all the difference. Tornadoes and dangerous storms can develop quickly, leaving little time to decide where to go or how to protect your family.
Take time now to identify a safe place to shelter, prepare emergency supplies, and make sure everyone in your household knows the plan. Being prepared before a warning is issued can help save lives.

Did you know your family can receive both SNAP and WIC benefits?
If your household receives SNAP, your children under age 5 may also benefit from WIC's nutritious foods, nutrition education, and other helpful services.
You don't have to choose between SNAP and WIC! Both programs can help support your family's nutritional needs.
