Stay Ready: The Best Emergency Preparedness Gadgets for Your Home

Living in Los Angeles, we know that emergency preparedness isn’t just a precaution—it’s a necessity. With record-breaking wildfires, unexpected power outages, and intense rainfall flooding streets and homes, having the right tech gadgets in place can mean the difference between peace of mind and costly damage. Whether it’s preventing leaks, securing valuables, or ensuring power during blackouts, these emergency preparedness gadgets will help you stay ready for whatever Mother Nature throws our way.

Moen Flo Smart Water Shutoff & Leak Detector

💧 Prevent water damage before it starts.

Water damage can be just as devastating as fire, and the Moen Flo Smart Water Shutoff is here to prevent disaster. Starting at just $49 for a single detector, this system learns your household’s water usage patterns and automatically shuts off the water supply if it detects an abnormal leak and doesn’t receive a response. It also monitors your home’s flow rate, water pressure, and temperature—all from the Moen Smart Water App.

For even more protection, the Moen Flo Smart Leak Detector ($549) can be placed in high-risk areas like under sinks or near appliances. It alerts you via app, text, phone call, or email if it detects leaks, extreme temperatures, or high humidity, helping you prevent water damage before it escalates.
