Are you ready for the 2011 Hurricane season? Here are some questions to get you started:
Do you have contact information printed out where you can access it in case a power outage would affect network or cell phone access?
Do you have important papers and valuables collected and in a sealed plastic bag
Do you have a full tank of gas? And some extra cash?
Do you have access to a NOAA Weather Radio and flashlights (and a supply of fresh batteries)? Do you have a generator and gasoline?
Have you assembled supplies such as water, food and medications? After a hurricane, we could be without services (grocery stores and gas stations) for 5-7 days.
Is your emergency kit ready? First aid kit?
Do you know the steps you would take to help your department prepare for a hurricane? Take the time to be better prepared now in order to be safe and protect your property. For more information, visit http://www.ready.gov/america.
