SERVPRO® of Cheatham, Robertson and Dickson Counties wants you to be prepared if a flood forces you to evacuate.

Some of these items can be kept in a waterproof container (your emergency kit). Medications probably cannot, but you can have them ready to bring with you.

• Written contact list
• Copies of medical insurance & Medicare cards

• Warm blankets
• Extra clothing, especially socks & undergarments
• Bottled water
• Batteries for your electronic devices

Some people in Cheatham, Robertson or Dickson Counties will also need:

• At least one other person who can get your medications &  supplies
• At least a week-long supply of prescription medicines
• A list of all medications, allergies, and dosages
• An extra pair of glasses or extra contact lenses
• Hearing-aid batteries

If you have pets in your home, consider:
