Where can you go for safety during a hurricane?

[Karin Zonneveld]

If you have an evacuation plan, follow procedures and look for shelter. You need to prepare in advance for evacuation: plan how to get to the shelter, and how to get your family and loved ones there.

If you are going to shelter in your home, stay indoors, stay safe in an interior room, closet, or bathroom on the lowest floor of your home, away from windows. However, prepare for flooding and avoid swimming and driving through floodwaters.

 

Remember to stay informed with a battery-powered radio to receive updates about the hurricane. Try to stay calm at all times; it's easier to stay calm when you have a plan.

It's also important to have an emergency kit ready and at hand with essential supplies, including non-perishable food, water (at least 1 gallon per person per day for 3 days), medications, first aid supplies, flashlights and batteries.

 

And get all your important documents together in a waterproof container or stored digitally.
