Hurricane Preparedness Week

It only takes one storm to change your life and community.

Take some time this week - Hurricane Preparedness Week - to prepare.

The best time to prepare is before hurricane season begins. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late.
 

Develop an evacuation plan: 

Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there. You do not need to travel hundreds of miles. Be sure to account for your pets.

Assemble disaster supplies:

Whether you’re evacuating or sheltering-in-place, you’re going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for the potentially lengthy and unpleasant aftermath. Have enough non-perishable food, water and medicine to last each person in your family a minimum of 3 days. And, don’t forget your pets!

Get an insurance checkup & document your possessions: 

Contact your insurance company for an insurance check-up to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and/or belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance doesn’t cover flooding, so you’ll need a separate policy for it. Act now, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period.

Take the time before hurricane season begins to document your possessions: photos, serial numbers, or anything else that you may need to provide your insurance company when filing a claim.

Create a communication plan: 

Write down your hurricane plan, a list of emergency contacts, and share it with your family.

Strengthen your home: 

Improve your home’s ability to withstand hurricane impacts. Trim trees. Install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and/or impact glass. Seal outside wall openings. The garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand hurricane-force winds.
