Hurricane season is just around the corner. Beginning June 1st and ending on November 30th, we want to take a moment to highlight some important storm safety tips to keep in mind in the event of a disaster. We hope these tips will come in handy for when you’re preparing you and your household members for an unpredictable season. 

1. Make an emergency communication plan: where to go, what to do, how to reconnect.
2. Make sure you know your community’s evacuation plan and route
3. Collect and safeguard critical documents and records
4. Pack an emergency kit with items such as food, water, flashlights, medication, and phone chargers
5. Know where your gas shut off valve and electrical shut off are located. 
6. Protect your pets by making an emergency plan and kit for them. Remember to include medication if needed.
