If you remember Hugo, then you know how important hurricane preparedness can be. Remember, it’s not just the wind you should worry about but flooding as well. Here are a few things you can do to make sure you’re prepared for this hurricane season.
Start by becoming very familiar with your area. Know the areas that may flood quickly and know what your best route for evacuation is. Make sure all family members know how to turn off water, gas, and electricity in case of an emergency. Turn off any propane tanks if a storm threatens and have your NOAA Radio turned on throughout the storm. Remember to stay indoors during a storm and keep away from windows, skylights and glass doors.
