Best practices hurricane preparedness.
1) Plan Before Season Begins. Have supplies ready before the season begins in order to be able to locate and purchase items before they are no longer readily available. A constant review and inventory of items pre-season will help place you in a better position.
2) Know What to Pack. 3-days worth of supplies for each individual is ideal. Along with the recommended items provided during the LSDS assessment, you should also include hard copies of insurance and medical information for each person and place in waterproof bags. Try to memorize and write everything down including all important phone numbers.
3)Share Your Evacuation Plan. Make sure to share and make copies of your plan with family and friends. This includes having multiple plans – will you shelter in place? If you are not able to shelter in place, where will you evacuate to? What is the evacuation route? Providing this information will help family and friends have a better idea of where to find you.
