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. https://t.co/O8IEzalyGj #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong

[Plaquemines - OHSEP @PlaqEoc]

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. https://t.co/O8IEzalyGj #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong
