The time to prepare for a hurricane is NOW, before the season begins. Once you’re under pressure, having a written plan will take the guesswork out of what you need to do to protect you and your family. #riseteam.org #RISEteam#ready.gov #HurricanePrep#HurricaneStrong
Can your home withstand a hurricane? Make sure it is up to local hurricane building code specifications. Remember, the garage door is the most vulnerable part of the home, so it must be able to withstand high winds. #riseteam.org #RISEteam#noaa.
Are you insured for a hurricane? Check in now before hurricane season begins. Keep in mind that standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flooding, and flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period! Find coverage at #riseteam.org #RISEteam#floodsmart.
Just having enough supplies to make it through a hurricane isn’t enough. You need plenty to make it through what could be a long recovery period too. Prepare for AT LEAST three days. #riseteam.org #RISEteam#ready.gov #HurricanePrep#HurricaneStrong
Are you in a hurricane evacuation zone, or in a home that would be otherwise unsafe in a hurricane? If so, think now, about where you’d go and how you’d get there if you're told to evacuate. #riseteam.org #RISEteam#noaa.gov #HurricanePrep#HurricaneStrong
It’s not just those along the coast that can experience significant, life-threatening impacts. Evaluate what you need to do to protect your home and family NOW, before the first storm of the season even forms. #riseteam.org #RISEteam#noaa.gov #HurricanePrep#HurricaneStrong
