Hurricane Season is June 1 to November 30
Make preparations prior to hurricane season to minimize the impact a storm could have on you and your family. The best way to survive a hurricane/storm is to be prepared.
Before the Storm
Make sure to be prepared and have your safety plans in order. Have proper tools, plenty of supplies to include batteries, flashlights, non-perishable foods, water and a well-stocked first aid kit. Talk with your family members about what to do in case of a hurricane. Designate an emergency meeting location and be sure to have a plan for your pets.
It is best to stock up on hurricane supplies prior to a named storm. Early preparation is essential to being protected during hurricane season. Should you have a generator, be sure to understand the proper use and follow all safety recommendations.
Photograph or video your property to ensure the condition of your assets for insurance purposes, this is helpful should a future claim be necessary. It is a good practice to put all important papers in ziploc bags prior to storms.
