Preparing for hurricane season

and last updated

With hurricane season just two days away, it's time to start preparing for potential inclement weather - if you haven't already done so. 

The American Red Cross has shared steps you can take now to be prepared in case of severe weather or an emergency. 

  • Start building an emergency kit - this should include a gallon of water, non-perishables flashlights, batteries and a safety kit.
  • Create and evacuation plan - then, practice it so you're ready. 
  • Research hurricane response plans in your area - make sure you know what shelter you would go to (and have a back-up plan or two).
