How to prepare before a hurricane:

Protecting your family;

• Talk with your family about what to do if a hurricane strikes. Discussing hurricanes ahead of time helps reduce fear, particularly for younger children
• Ensure that every member of your family carries a Safe and Well wallet card.
• Make sure you have access to NOAA radio broadcasts:
• Find an online NOAA radio station
• Search for a NOAA radio app in the Apple Store >> or Google Play>>
• Purchase a battery-powered or hand-crank NOAA radio in the Red Cross Store
• Keep insurance policies, documents, and other valuables in a safe-deposit box. You may need quick, easy access to these documents. Keep them in a safe place less likely to be damaged if a hurricane causes flooding. Take pictures on a phone and keep copies of important documents and files on a flashdrive that you can carry with you on your house or car keys.
