Hurricane Preparedness

If a hurricane were to hit tomorrow would you be prepared? Hurricane Preparedness is extremely important in South Florida. It’s important for you have all of the basic supplies you would need to survive. You should have enough supplies to last you at least three days because it may be a while before you can evacuate safely or even reach help. By taking some time now to store emergency food and water supplies, you can provide for your entire family. You can use the canned goods or dry mixes stored in your shelves. Be sure to check the expiration dates and put the first to expire in front with the rest following.

It is very important for you and your family to have a plan before a storm hits. Always plan to have an emergency contact that’s out of town. Make sure to fill up your gas tank and put some extra in a gas can in case of emergency. Also, it’s good to contact your local Office of Emergency Management to find out what your local emergency resources are. Finding a local phone number to call and find out if you should evacuate would be very helpful as well.

When preparing for hurricanes make sure you are keeping up with where the hurricane is located and how fast it’s moving.
