You shouldn't travel more than half the length of your boat to get to a fire extinguisher. Any Fire extinguishers should be checkedyearly to make sure it is properly charged, stored and undamaged. #NationalBoaterSafetyWeek#darcoready#darcoprepared https://t.co/nbgzskKUxZ
Before you and your family get out on the water this weekend, grab a life jacket and "Wear It!" Nearly 85 percent of those who drown while boating were not wearing a life jacket. #NationalBoaterSafetyWeek#darcoready#darcoprepared
The time to prepare for a hurricane is before the season begins, when you have the time and are not under pressure. Being prepared, makes you resilient to the hurricane impacts of wind and water. Talk to your neighbors to make sure they have plan in place as well!
Many Americans rely on their neighbors after a disaster, but there are also ways you can help your neighbors before a hurricane. Learn about actions you and your neighbors can take to prepare and recover from the hazards associated with hurricanes: https://t.co/qTr7EvisrZ.
If you plan to ride out a hurricane in your home, make sure it is in good repair. Lend a hand to your neighbors to help them secure their homes as well.
This Hurricane Preparedness Week, call your insurance company or agent and ask for an insurance checkup to make sure you have enough homeowners insurance to repair or even replace your home. Don't forget coverage for your car or boat.
The current weather forecast is a chance of severe weather for our area tonight. The greatest threat is east of I-95, but please stay tuned to local news outlets as that may change. #staytuned#darcowx https://t.co/O5RTHCqKH3
Please avoid or delay any outdoor burning for today. The current weather conditions will make fires extremely difficult to manage. Our area currently has very low humidity and high winds.
Part of preparing is understanding what your property insurance covers. Not all policies cover everything. You should go over everything annually with your agent to make sure you have what you need. #severewxprep#getready#staytuned#darcowx
