</li>
<li>
<p>Know your evacuation routes, plan your transportation and identify a place to stay-if you plan to evacuate by car, keep your car fueled and in good condition. &nbsp;Keep emergency supplies and a change of clothes in your car. Have a plan for where you can stay. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Check on you neighbors.</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>Practice how you will communicate with family members-in case you are not together when the emergency alert is issued; practice how you will communicate with your family members.
