Hurricanes: Protecting Yourself

  • Stay tuned to local radio and TV broadcasts. A hurricane watch will be issued 24-36 hours before the storm comes.
  • Inform local authorities about people with special needs. This can be the elderly and anyone with a disability or special medical needs.
  • Find and safely store all important papers and documents, such as driver’s license, insurance policies, and proof of residence.
