2. Have your 72-hour "go kit" or bag ready.

3. Register your cell and/or any non-landline phone for the Alert San Diego emergency notification system. Don't have a cell, or don't know how to text ? Get a cell phone and learn how to text message (almost free phones and services available now)

4. Download an Emergency Preparedness app ( SD Emergency and/or Emergency sponsored by the Red Cross ).  Don't have a smart phone ? There are smart phones you can get for as low as $40 . Having a smartphone with one or both of these apps will allow you to have valuable emergency preparedness info and alerts available to you 24/7 .
