HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

Hurricanes can threaten life and property with hazards such as flooding, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes. Are you Prepared?

WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE TROPICAL STORM OR HURRICANE

PREPARING YOUR HOME

MAKE A PLAN

Pack an emergency bag including 3-5 days of food, water, and supplies. Store in a safe, easily accessible area in your home.
Plan your evacuation route in advance and fill your gas tank up ahead of time. Not everywhere is wheelchair accessible – Keep a portable ramp in your car. Know the dimensions of your power chair in case you need emergency transport.
Register with your local special needs registry. The special needs registry helps your city know who might need extra help during an emergency.
Follow your local emergency preparedness channel. Sign up for your local emergency alerts through text or email to stay connected.
Determine if you should shelter in place or evacuate. Choose a place to evacuate in advance and make note of what supplies will be available to you.
