Joseph Scarola: Have to get a battery-operated radio today. 

Albert T. Johnson: Bought a lot of water, have a lot of food, batteries, flashlights, documents in order, secured everything in the yard and I’m monitoring the counties website for updates. Make sure you hit the bank folks and also check the Red Cross website for a list of supplies you may need.
