In order of importance:

Visit an ATM so that you can buy anything urgent while power is out.

Have preparations to bunk for 48 hours without electricity. Food, mostly. Have something to keep you busy without electricity. (I have a library of books.)

Maybe refill your gas tank? I guess?

Uhmmm, expect that flights on Monday will be delayed?

If you survived the Covid era, you will be fine.

@noondlyt flash light/batteries/refills on needed meds/small first aid kit/nonperishable easy snacks or meals/ important paperwork in a zip lock bag/back pack for easy go time. Keep an eye out for vulnerable neighbors. Also prep for pets! Stay safe and good luck!

Take a deep breath and remember that famous line "Don't Panic."

If you've been following the earthquake preparedness tips, you should be OK. 🙂

You could go take a look at the Hurricane preparedness tips for ideas.

Check if your area has a sand bag assembly station, if your home might be vulnerable to flooding. I don’t know where you are — our website is:
waterresources.saccounty.gov, so yours would be similar. You have plenty of time to get ready.

Google “disaster preparedness” for gov resources & advice.

A LOT of that storm will diminish once the hurricane hits our cold pacific water.

If you have elderly neighbors, you might check on them. 😊
Good luck!

@cynblogger Thank you! I am up on a mesa with small canyons below. I think I'm ok but many many others are not.
