From the American Speaker Starter Material:

Good preparation includes anticipating potential emergencies, thinking through your speaking environment and considering what could go wrong. Be prepared for equipment malfunctions by planning around them. You shouldn’t be dependent on your visual aids to present your information. Prepare back-up poster boards if you need graphics, especially if your presentation relies on charts or graphs. Or distribute your visual aids as handouts. Be prepared to talk through items you might not be able to use. Prepare additional descriptive text about the material you could lose.
