With the time fast approaching the 2019 Hurricane Season starts on June 1st.
Are you ready, are you prepared for a Natural Disaster?
With some help from www.ready.gov/hurricane-toolkit you can make sure that you are safe and ready.

Prepare NOW:

Know your area?s risk of hurricanes
Sign up for your community?s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts
If you are at risk for flash flooding, watch for warning signs such as heavy rain
Practice going to a safe shelter for high winds, such as a FEMA safe room or ICC 500 storm shelter. The next best protection is a small, interior, windowless room in a sturdy building on the lowest level that is not subject to flooding
Based on your location and community plans, make your own plans for evacuation or sheltering in place
Become familiar with your evacuation zone, the evacuation route, and shelter locations
Gather needed supplies for at least three days. Keep in mind each person?s specific needs, including medication. Don?t forget the needs of pets
Keep important documents in a safe place or create password-protected digital copies
Protect your property. Declutter drains and gutters. Install check valves in plumbing to prevent backups. Consider hurricane shutters. Review insurance policies

Being prepared for what may happen is the best thing for you and your family.
Make the time to protect your home and all of your important documents.

Stay Safe this Hurricane Season.
