Preparing for a Hurricane or Other Tropical Storm

10/5/2021 (Permalink)

Gather emergency supplies.

During and after a hurricane, you may need supplies to keep your family safe and healthy. Remember that a hurricane could cut off your power and water supply. You also may not be able to drive because of damage to your car. Roads may be flooded or blocked.

That’s why it’s best to be prepared—stock up on everything you might need now. Be sure to prepare the following:

• An emergency food and water supply
• An emergency medicine supply
• Emergency power sources such as flashlights (don’t forget extra batteries).
• Safety and personal items
• Important documents, including medical documents, wills, passports, and personal identification.
• A fire extinguisher. Make sure your family knows where to find it and how to use it! Read the National Fire Protection Association’s tip's for using fire extinguishers
