How to Prepare
It is important to start preparing for the potential impacts of the storm now instead of waiting until the storm is already in our area. Here are some things to do now:
- Make sure you have all of the items on your disaster preparedness list. This includes items like additional supplies of medications, food, and bottled water.
- Especially for those in coastal areas, make sure you know your evacuation zones, routes and maps should you need to leave the area.
- Make a pet plan so you don't have to leave your pets and animals behind.
- Have a place to go should you need to evacuate. Make sure any vehicles are filled up with gas beforehand.
