Hurricane Season is upon us and being prepared can help save you and your family stay safe. Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands your hurricane plan and your evacuation route in the event a Hurricane is predicted in your area. Paying close attention to local weather reports can help you better prepare before the storm.  Make sure you have the supplies on hand to secure your home prior to an evacuation. Protecting your windows with plywood boards or storms shutters can help reduce extensive damage. Secure outside furniture and objects that could cause further damage during a hurricane. Have food, water, a first aid kit, cash, and medical prescriptions on hand.  Being called to evacuate can come quickly if you live near the coast or in low lying areas. Being prepared and ready to go can make it easier on you and your family.
