Preparation is the best protection against the dangers of a hurricane. <br/><br/> <h2>What should you do in the effect of a hurricane?</h2> Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio for critical information from the National Weather Service.<br/> Check your disaster supplies and replace or restock as needed.<br/> Bring in anything that can be picked up by the wind (bicycles, lawn furniture).<br/> Close windows, doors and hurricane shutters. If you do not have hurricane shutters, close and board up all windows and doors with plywood.<br/> Turn the refrigerator and freezer to the coldest setting and keep them closed as much as possible so that food will last longer if the power goes out.<br/> Turn off propane tanks and unplug small appliances.<br/> Fill your car s gas tank.<br/> Talk with members of your household and create an evacuation plan. Planning and practicing your evacuation plan minimizes confusion and fear during the event.<br/> Learn about your community s hurricane response plan. Plan routes to local shelters, register family members with special medical needs as required and make plans for your pets to be cared for.<br/> Evacuate if advised by authorities. Be careful to avoid flooded roads and washed out bridges.<br/> Because standard homeowners insurance doesn t cover flooding, it s important to have protection from the floods associated with hurricanes, tropical storms, heavy rains and other conditions that impact the U.S. <br/> For more information on flood insurance, please visit the National Flood Insurance Program Web site at www.FloodSmart.gov.<br/><br/> <h2>What supplies do I need?</h2> Water at least a 3-day supply; one gallon per person per day<br/> Food at least a 3-day supply of non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food<br/> Flashlight t Battery-powered or hand-crank radio<br/> (NOAA Weather Radio, if possible)<br/> Extra batteries t First aid kit<br/> Medications (7-day supply) and medical items (hearing aids with extra batteries, glasses, contact lenses, syringes, cane)<br/> Multi-purpose tool<br/> Sanitation and personal hygiene items<br/> Copies of personal documents (medication list and pertinent medical information, proof of address, deed/lease to home, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies)<br/> Cell phone with chargers t Family and emergency contact information<br/> Extra cash<br/> Emergency blanket<br/> Map(s) of the area<br/> Baby supplies (bottles, formula, baby food, diapers)<br/> Pet supplies (collar, leash, ID, food, carrier, bowl)<br/> Tools/supplies for securing your home<br/> Extra set of car keys and house keys<br/> Extra clothing, hat and sturdy shoes<br/> Rain gear<br/> Insect repellent and sunscreen<br/> Camera for photos of damage<br/><br/> <h2>What do I do after a hurricane?</h2> Continue listening to a NOAA Weather Radio or the local news for the latest updates.<br/> Stay alert for extended rainfall and subsequent flooding even after the hurricane or tropical storm has ended.<br/> If you evacuated, return home only when officials say it is safe.<br/> Drive only if necessary and avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges.<br/> Keep away from loose or dangling power lines and report them immediately to the power company.<br/> Stay out of any building that has water around it.<br/> Inspect your home for damage. Take pictures of damage, both of the building and its contents, for insurance purposes.<br/> Use flashlights in the dark. Do NOT use candles.<br/> Avoid drinking or preparing food with tap water until you are sure it s not contaminated.<br/> Check refrigerated food for spoilage. If in doubt, throw it out.<br/> Wear protective clothing and be cautious when cleaning up to avoid injury.<br/> Watch animals closely and keep them under your direct control.<br/> Use the telephone only for emergency calls.<br/> Let Your Family Know You re Safe<br/><br/> If your community has experienced a hurricane, or any disaster, register on the American Red Cross Safe and Well Web site available through RedCross.org/SafeandWell to let your family and friends know about your welfare. If you don t have Internet access, call 1-866-GET-INFO to register yourself and your family. <br/><br/> For more information on disaster and emergency preparedness, visit RedCross.org. </div> <div style="float:left;width:900px;text-align:center;background-color:#962733; color:#FFFFFF;padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:10px;"> <h2>Reliable Electric - We'll "Bee" There</h2> 5082 Lafon Ln.
