Keep your water heater lock with a strap to also avoid an explosion.

Food and water source. Make it a habit to always stock emergency food and water in every grocery shopping you make. It must be stored into an area of the house where water cannot infiltrate it. You cannot say that every week accidents can happen so to keep it edible, have it replaced every month. Store only foods that can be consumed even without water specifically can goods.
