What to do when a hurricane is 6-18 hours from arriving
! Turn on your TV/radio, or check your city/county website every 30 minutes in order to get the latest weather updates and emergency instructions.
! Charge your cell phone now so you will have a full battery in case you lose power.
After a Hurricane
! Listen to local officials for updates and instructions.
! Check-in with family and friends by texting or using social media.
! Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.
! Watch out for debris and downed power lines.
! Avoid walking or driving through flood waters. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and fast-moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
! Avoid flood water as it may be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines and may hide dangerous debris or places where the ground is washed away.
! Photograph the damage to your property in order to assist in filing an insurance claim.
! Do what you can to prevent further damage to your property, (e.g., putting a tarp on a damaged roof), as insurance may not cover additional damage that occurs after the storm.
! Keep your car in good working condition, and keep the gas tank full; stock your vehicle with emergency supplies and a change of clothes
