How to prepare for weather events with an emergency kit

SOUTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY – For any storm, it’s a good reminder to all of us that being prepared for severe weather is a top priority.

One thing you can do is keep an emergency kit on hand. News 40 spoke with emergency management, and they strongly suggest that you keep water, batteries, flashlights and first aid.

The deputy director of Warren County Emergency Management, Travis Puckett, shares how being prepared can positively impact you.

He says, “It’s easier to prepare when you’re not under stress. I’ve got to hurry up and get out of the house, or get to a shelter or safe spot in your home. It’s much easier. And you can plan it out and take your time and get exactly what you need.”
