Hurricane Preparedness Checklist

The Hurricane Preparedness Checklist is an essential guide for those living in areas affected by hurricanes. It includes important steps to take before, during, and after a hurricane. Before a hurricane, it is important to develop an evacuation plan, secure your home, and assemble an emergency kit. During a hurricane, it is important to stay informed, follow evacuation orders, and heeding warnings about dangerous conditions. After a hurricane, it is important to be aware of the potential for flooding, stay alert for downed power lines, and be aware of hazardous materials. The checklist also includes information on how to contact family and friends, how to care for pets, and how to minimize damage. Taking a few minutes to prepare ahead of time can make all the difference in an emergency.
