Hurricanes could possibly wreak mayhem for coastal zones, however usually there are steps you can take to get ready before a storm strikes, in fact on this very moment such as

Restock your emergency preparedness kit. Include food and water sufficient for at least three days, medications, a flashlight, batteries, cash, and first aid supplies.

Find out evacuation routes and locations as well as how to connect with loved ones when there are power outages. Keep your vehicles in good working condition, and keep the gas tank full, stock your vehicle with emergency supplies and a change of clothes.

Also carrying lightweight and loose objects like thrash bins, tree trimmers (to clear the trees if they hit the houses) , conceal windows with boards or shutters.

There are also tips for when the storm is just 6 hours away.

Cell phones should be charged.

If you’re not in an area for evacuation, stay at home or wherever you are and let friends and family know where you are. Putting freezers on the coldest-possible option.

People should check for “the latest weather updates and emergency instructions” in half-hour intervals on all possible means (TV, Radio whatever available) and keep themselves updated and prepared.

In concern. Stay safe!!!
