Rain-Readiness Checklist: Tips to Keep You Safe & Dry

| Secure tarps tightly | Especially over equipment, wood, or roof sections—helps shed water and protect surfaces |
| Clear gutters and drains | Reduces the risk of overflow and localized flooding |
| Check flashlights and power banks | Keep them charged just in case of sudden power outages |
