Preparing for a Hurricane…a weather storm….or a storm in your personal life?

Have you ever really thought about what you would do if a storm or hurricane came to visit?

Sometimes the weather is not an all-out storm or hurricane, but there can be damaging winds. There is still damage.

Now is the time to prepare for the storms that come into our lives. Do you have this information available?

Local Emergency Management office contact information
County Law Enforcement contact information
Local hospital locations and phone numbers
Local utilities Local shelter locations, emails, phone numbers
Make sure you tell someone where you are going
Make sure that when you leave that you are going far enough away to get away from the danger of the storm
Make sure that your technology is powered up and that you have back-up power
Take identification for your children and yourself
Take birth certificates, social security cards, passports
Money (cash), checkbook, account information, credit cards
Keys (house, office, car, safety deposit box, etc.)
Driver’s license and vehicle registration

This is a start ... don’t wait to begin this task. The list will continue in our next blog on Wednesday.
