• Make sure that your emergency equipment, such as hurricane shutters and battery-powered radios are in good working order;
• Ensure that you have enough emergency supplies, such as non-perishable food and water, for each person in your home to last for at least three days;
• Obtain and store materials necessary to properly secure your home;
• Secure yard/construction debris, so they do not pose a hazard during a storm;
• Take tree trimmings to a local trash and  recycling center at this time;
• Find out if you live in an evacuation zone. If so, plan in advance where you will stay, how you will get there and what supplies you will take. Also give yourself ample time to get to a safe area. For further information, click here.
