Hurricanes: Protecting Yourself

• Stay tuned to local radio and TV broadcasts. A hurricane watch will be issued 24-36 hours before the storm comes.

• Get your emergency kit ready, including food and water and a battery-operated radio.

• 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.
