8. Before the Storm
Are you ready….

9. Stay informed
 Tune in to radio
and television
broadcasts
 Be aware of
approaching
storms

10. Stock up on Supplies
Hope for 3 days ------Plan for 7
Your kit should
include water and
food items, along
with battery powered
flashlights and
radios. Be sure to
include enough
medical supplies and
prescription drugs to
last two weeks.

11. Preparations
 Protect your files and computers, by
gathering your important papers and
electrical equipment, and placing them
in plastic bags or other waterproof
material. Make sure to
unplug all
electrical
equipment!

12. Preparations
 Shutters: assess, test, install,
repair where needed
 Check hurricane supply
stock and generator for
functionality
 Bring inside any item that
may be picked up by the
wind. These objects become
deadly missiles in a
hurricane.

13. During the Storm
 Expect to lose power. Make sure you
have flashlights within reach in your
safe room, generators have been
checked, started, and maintained,
along with a planned generator
operating location far enough away
from any openings in your home.

14. During the Storm
 Never venture
outside during
the storm. Flying
debris may cause
serious injury or
death.

15. During the Storm
 Do not call 911 unless it
is a real emergency!
 Be aware that fire rescue
and law enforcement
resources may not be
able to respond during
the storm or immediately
post storm.

16. After the Storm
 Beware of fallen
power lines. While
electricity may be
out, service can be
restored at any
time and lines
may become
“hot.”

17. After the Storm
 Make sure that generators are never
used inside or near home windows or
doors (any opening to the house) as
they produce dangerous carbon
monoxide
