To effectively prepare for a sudden change in your home environment, start by creating an emergency kit that includes essentials like water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, batteries, a first aid kit, and necessary medications. Stay informed by having a battery-powered or hand-crank radio to receive updates on the situation. Ensure your phone is charged and consider a portable charger. It's also wise to develop a communication plan with your family members so everyone knows how to reach each other. Additionally, consider securing your home by checking for loose items outside that could become projectiles and ensuring your windows and doors are properly sealed. Lastly, review your home insurance policy to understand what is covered in case of damage.<|im_end|>
