National Preparedness Month
Even though disasters can happen at any time, September is recognized as National Preparedness Month. In part, because it happens to be the height of hurricane season, which runs through November 30. Hurricanes do not need to make landfall or move directly across the area to cause great damage. With damaging winds and storm surge, hurricanes bring inland, flooding, tidal flooding, and often spawn tornadoes even after the hurricane has passed through an area. It is important that people who live in hurricane prone communities know their vulnerability, and what actions should be taken to reduce the effects of these devastating storms.

If there is a possibility of a hurricane it is good to take precautions including:
  • Make sure you have a 3 – 7 day supply of food and water available for you and your family (3 day supply if you live inland and low-lying roads are not your access route to your home; a 7 day supply if you live in a flood prone area or access to your home is via a flood prone roadway). If you already have a supply, check the expiration dates. 
  • Obtain other items needed for your emergency supply kit if you have not already done so. See Family Disaster Kits for a complete list of necessary items.
  • Review and add items as necessary your Pet’s Emergency Supply Kit.
  • Review and add items as necessary to your Emergency Supply kit. especially for family members with special needs.
  • Make sure all family members are familiar with your family emergency communications plan..
  • Review your evacuation plans – know where the local shelters are located or make hotel reservations if necessary.
