If you live in an area where flooding is even remotely possible, you should do all BUT this to prepare.

Although missing your favorite TV show can be a bummer, having your family prepared is far more important. Have a family plan in place so that everyone knows where to go in case of an emergency - even if all phone service fails. Having provisions on hand including one gallon of water per person per day to cover you for at least a week, if not two. Also, keep the cars gassed up in case evacuation is required on short notice.
