HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
Hurricane hazards come in many forms: storm surge, high winds, tornadoes, and flooding. This means it is important for you and your family to have a plan that includes all of these hazards. Look carefully at the safety actions associated with each type of hurricane hazard and prepare your family disaster plan accordingly. But remember this is only a guide. The first and most important thing anyone should do when facing a hurricane threat is to use common sense. You should be able to answer the following questions before a hurricane threatens: What are the Hurricane Hazards? What does it mean to you? What actions should you take to be prepared?

Basic Hurricane Safety Actions:
Know if you live in an evacuation area. Know your home's vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind. Have a written plan based on this knowledge. At the beginning of hurricane season (June 1st), check the supplies for your disaster supply kit, replace batteries and use food stocks on a rotating basis. During hurricane season, monitor the tropics. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio. It is an excellent / official source for real-time weather information and warnings. If a storm threatens, heed the advice from local authorities. Evacuate if ordered. Execute your family plan.
Hurricane WATCH vs. Hurricane WARNING - KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
*A HURRICANE WATCH issued for your part of the coast indicates the possibility that you could experience hurricane conditions within 36 hours. This watch should trigger your family's disaster plan, and protective measures should be initiated, especially those actions that require extra time such as securing a boat, leaving a barrier island, etc.
*A HURRICANE WARNING issued for your part of the coast indicates that sustained winds of at least 74 mph are expected within 24 hours or less. Once this warning has been issued, your family should be in the process of completing protective actions and deciding the safest location to be during the storm.
