In this installment of Disaster Prep, we focus on hurricane preparedness and actions to take to protect you and your family in the event of a hurricane or tropical storm.
Be prepared
When dealing with hurricanes or any threat, the bottom line is: be prepared. Both an emergency preparation and response strategy should be in place through which immediate, effective action can be taken, both at home and at work.
When a tropical storm or hurricane watch is issued, follow local weather and news reports closely to determine the path of the storm and learn about any advisory or mandatory evacuation orders from public emergency management authorities.
