Be Prepared for ANY Emergency!

Protect Your Family!

  • Plan an evacuation route.
  • Contact the Local Emergency Management office or American Red Cross chapter - know the safest evacuation routes and nearby shelters.
  • If you live in a shore community - be ready to drive 20 to 50 miles inland to locate a safe place.
  • Have disaster supplies on hand.
  • Flashlight and extra batteries
  • Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries
  • First aid kit and manual
  • Emergency food and water
  • Nonelectric can opener
  • Essential medicines
  • Cash and credit cards
  • Teach family members how and when to turn off gas, electricity, and water.
  • Teach children how and when to call 9-1-1, police, or fire department and which radio station to tune to for emergency information.
  • Make arrangements for pets.
  • Pets may not be allowed into emergency shelters for health and space reasons. Contact your local humane society for information on local animal shelters.
  • In case family members are separated from one another during a disaster (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), have a plan for getting back together.
  • Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.

Protect Your Home!

  • Trim back dead or weak branches from trees.
  • Check into flood insurance. You can find out about the National Flood Insurance Program through your local insurance agent or Local Emergency Management Office.  There is normally a 30-day waiting period before a new policy becomes effective. Homeowners polices do not cover damage from the flooding that accompanies a hurricane.

Emergency Preparedness Guide. It's impossible to control the weather and stop catastrophes from happening. However, we can take vital steps for emergency preparedness so that everyone can minimize risks and be aware of the safe routes should an emergency take place.
