The best way to protect both is "Prepare to Protect."  Here are a few ideas from Ready.gov on how to start to be prepared:

Disasters come when we least expect them. The best way to be as ready as you can be when they arrive is to talk to loved ones and raise awareness before the disasters. If you need more help to prepare check with your local emergency departments for more tips and planning information.
