As much as we would all like to believe a natural disaster is something that would never happen to our region, or us, it’s never a bad idea to prepare for the worst.

Trulia advises keeping a three-day supply of these items in a kit at your home, in your car, and at work – as emergencies can obviously occur without much warning. In addition to an emergency kit, Trulia provides a Home Hazard Checklist, detailing areas of your home you should secure during natural disasters.
