Hurricane Season Is Upon Us

9/17/2024 (Permalink)

It is that time of the year again – the dreaded hurricane season. Do you know what you need to be prepared? Hurricanes can pose a serious threat to you, your family and property. These natural disasters produce winds ranging from 74 to 200 miles per hour. A storm with that much power can cause catastrophic damage and severe flooding. If your home or business sustains high winds or heavy rain the damage can be devastating. When the weather hits, you will want to be prepared ahead of time. Don’t wait until the storm hits to get your supplies together. Start now, so you can stay safe later. 

Here’s a list of basic emergency supplies to have on hand: 

• Flashlights and extra batteries 

• Portable battery-operated radio and extra batteries  

• First aid kit 

• Emergency food and water 

• Non-electric can opener 

• Essential medicines and supplies
