Make a Family Disaster Plan and practice it with family members!
Use the Evacuation Zone Look-Up Tool at ReadyPBC.com or view the Know Your Zone
Map to see if you are in an evacuation area.
Locate Evacuation Risk Shelters near your area.
Apply for Special Needs and Pet-Friendly Shelters if applicable.
Begin purchasing supplies for your Emergency Supply Kit (this can be done a little at a
time, over three months).
- Example: Every time you get groceries purchase an extra gallon of water and
some non-perishable food, then store it in your Kit. See pages 29-30 for a full listing.
Inspect and perform maintenance on your window protection/shutters.
Buy window protection (shutters) and roof turbine cap(s) before a storm is imminent.
Inspect your walls, windows, doors, and roof for conditions that may allow wind
damage.
Complete the assembly of your Emergency Supply Kit. Purchase medicine last.
Check with your doctor/pharmacy to determine how best to assure your prescriptions
will last through a storm.
If you need to confirm your status for the Special Needs Shelter or need additional infor-
mation, contact the Special Needs Coordinator at 561-712-6400.
Assess your landscaping to determine if trees need to be trimmed or lawn ornaments
need to be removed.
Establish a contact number with your employer if you may need to report to work
immediately following a storm.
Make arrangements in advance for your pets; either contact Animal Care and Control
about pet sheltering, or ask your vet (see page 8).

Advice for Older Adults
People who are elderly, frail, or disabled (either mentally or physically) may need special assistance
from family members, friends or social service agencies. Excessive stress and anxiety can
contribute to increased episodes of illness, particularly for persons with heart disease and other
conditions.
If an older adult lives in a nursing home, adult congregate living facility (ACLF) or boarding home,
contact the administrator to learn about the facility’s evacuation plan.
Notify your health agency where you will be during a hurricane and when care can be
re-established.
If you require oxygen, check with your supplier about emergency plans.
If you evacuate, remember to take medications, written instructions regarding your care,
your bedding and your walker, wheelchair, cane or any other special equipment.
If you require hospitalization, you must make prior arrangements through your physician.
Determine if and when you would have to evacuate. REMEMBER: All mobile/
manufactured and sub-standard home residents must evacuate, regardless of location.
Decide NOW where you would go if ordered to evacuate (a friend or relative, a hotel, or
as a last resort if you are going to leave the region. Determine your route and leave as
early as possible.
Keep your home in good repair.
Obtain assistance as necessary.

Special Needs Program
Palm Beach County has established a Special Needs Shelter Program to provide for citizens with
certain medical conditions during a major emergency. The Special Needs Shelter is a facility
with physicians and nurses on staff. It has auxiliary electrical power, is wind resistant, and not
flood-prone. The shelter is not a medical facility and provides limited services. The shelter does
not provide medication, dialysis, oxygen or oxygen concentrators. General food is provided.
If accepted, you will be notified and provided transportation to the shelters if needed.
You will be provided additional information upon acceptance to the shelter.
Persons who cannot be without electricity because they depend upon their own electrically energized life
support equipment within the home (i.e. oxygen, nebulizers, G/NG Tubes, uncomplicated IV, etc).
Persons that require assistance with transferring or need a Hoyer Lift.
Persons receiving assistance with activities of daily living who need a place to evacuate with their caregiver.
Persons who with progressive Alzheimer’s or Dementia who need a place to evacuate with their caregiver.
You may be eligible if:
You MUST apply in advance by completing the form online at:
http://pbc.gov/publicsafety/dem/Pages/Special-Needs.aspx
Or mail it to the Special Needs Coordinator at:
20 South Military Trail, West Palm Beach, FL 33415
Space at these shelters is limited and is based on need and established criteria.
NOTES:
No pets are allowed in the Special Needs Shelter. Make pet shelter arrangements in
advance.
If you are unable to return home, assistance will be provided for you.
Food is provided. Please make your own arrangements for any special dietary needs.
For further information about the Special Needs Program, call 561-712-6400 and ask to
speak to the Special Needs Coordinator.

Transportation Assistance Program
If you are disabled and live in a hurricane evacuation zone and only require transportation
assistance in reaching a shelter call Palm Tran Connection for the Special Transportation
Assistance Program by calling 561-649-9838 or 877-870-9849 (toll-free).
If you do not qualify for the Special Needs Program and need transportation ONLY to a shelter, the
county will provide transportation but you MUST be pre-registered and live in an evacuation zone
or mobile/manufactured/sub-standard home, be physically handicapped or have no other means
of transportation. Call Palm Tran Connection to register at 561-649-9838.
Need Transportation to a Shelter
Risk shelters cannot accept pets because of health and safety regulations. Service animals for
people with disabilities are an exception.
Pet Safety
8
Pet Safety Plan
Have a plan for your pets if you are evacuating and not taking them with you. Have them
stay with friends or family who are not evacuating, or board them with a local facility or
your veterinarian.
Arrange for a neighbor to check on and take care of your pets care if a storm occurs while
you are away.
Plan ahead for a friend or relative outside the affected area to shelter your animals, if necessary.
Make arrangements for your pet to be housed at a pet boarding facility or call motels/ hotels
in advance for reservations. Most hotels take pets during a hurricane evacuation. A deposit is
usually required.
Keep your pet’s ID and rabies license tags up to date. Call 561-233-1200 to update records.
Make sure your pet has a collar with a contact name and phone number.
Pet-Friendly Shelter Requirements
The Pet Friendly Shelter is located inside the West Boynton Recreational Center at 6000 Northtree
Blvd., Lake Worth, FL 33463 and is only available to Palm Beach County residents who reside in
a mandatory evacuation zone, in a mobile home, or in sub-standard housing. Proof of residency
will be required.
Pets will be housed in a separate area away from where the owners are sheltered; livestock
and reptiles will not be accepted. All family members will need to stay at the adjacent General
Population Shelter at Park Vista High School.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
Pre-registration is required at the Palm Beach County Pet-Friendly Shelter.

Mandatory Evacuation Homes
All residents living in a manufactured/mobile home or sub-standard housing must evacuate in
a hurricane warning.
Sub-standard housing: Buildings that do NOT meet one of the following requirements:
1. Permitted and inspected after March 1, 2002 under the Florida Building Code, or;
2. Permitted and inspected under prior codes, constructed of solidly filled reinforced masonry; or
of wood frame construction that has been evaluated and retrofitted as needed to resist
hurricane force winds; in either case, such structures must also have been retrofitted with
impact protection on all glazed openings.
Even tropical storm-force winds can topple these types of homes. Residents in low-lying
areas and on barrier islands may be required to evacuate depending upon the storm’s
projected path and flooding potential. When a storm threatens, do what you can to
secure your home, then take refuge with friends, relatives, or at an applicable shelter.
Pack breakables in boxes and put them on the floor.
Remove mirrors and tape them. Wrap mirrors and lamps in blankets and place them in
the bathtub or shower.
Install hurricane shutters or pre-cut plywood on all windows.
Shut off utilities and disconnect electricity, sewer and water lines. Shut off propane
tanks and leave them outside after anchoring them securely.
Store awnings, folding furniture, trash cans and other loose outdoor objects.
Anchor the mobile/manufactured home with over-the-top or frame ties.
Inspect tie-downs and anchors annually.
Before you leave, take the following precautions
Evacuate or Stay?
ɚ
10
Evacuate or Stay?
If You Can Stay, Shelter-In-Place
If You Must Evacuate
Self-evacuating is stressful and can cause more
harm than good, it is also expensive. If you live
in a structurally sound home and are not located
in a mandatory evacuation zone, Shelter-In-Place
in your pre-identified, stocked safe room and
take the following precautions:
Do not travel until told it is safe to do so from
officials. Don’t panic. Move at a steady pace
and ensure you leave enough time to get to
where you will weather the storm. DO NOT take
chances with your life by staying at home or
waiting until it’s too late!
Finish putting up shutters (do not
attempt to go buy plywood at this
point).
Offer your home as shelter to friends or
relatives who live in vulnerable areas or
mobile homes.
Leave radio or TV on an emergency
information station.
Do laundry.
Move vehicles into a garage or next to
a building; avoid trees and utility poles.
Freeze water jugs and fill ice chest.
Turn refrigerator to lowest setting and
lower A/C (turn circuit breakers off
after power goes out).
Recharge batteries.
Place flashlights and batteries through-
out the house and keep one with you
(DO NOT use candles).
Secure all doors and windows.
Double-check safe room and Disaster
Supply Kit.
Notify your host home and family
members that you are evacuating.
Fill up your vehicle and bring extra gas,
if possible (gas stations run out of fuel
along evacuation routes).
Secure patio/yard furniture.
Secure all doors and windows.
Have a plan for your pets if you are not
taking them with you.
Avoid flooded roads and beware of
washed out bridges and canals.
Bring along your pre-assembled
evacuation kit (water, snacks, cash, medica-
tions and important items/documents such
as your driver license, photo ID, proof of
address, insurance policies, family photos,
and a list of important contacts.
Go to your predetermined host home
or Risk/Special Needs Shelter, if applicable.
Allow at least twice the usual travel time.
Notify your prearranged family contact
when you arrive at your storm-safe location.
11
There are 15 Hurricane Evacuation Risk Shelters for the general population in Palm Beach County.
In addition, there are two Special Needs Shelters, and one Pet Friendly Shelter. All hurricane
evacuation shelters meet current ARC 4496 design standards to withstand hurricane force winds,
including window strength and protection, wind and debris exposure, and storm surge inundation.
These shelters are a refuge of last resort; a place to go if you can't stay at home or with a relative,
friend, co-worker or nearby hotel. While shelters are set up in schools, the timing of their opening
and locations will be chosen based on the circumstances of the storm. Not all shelters are opened
for every storm. Monitor local media for current shelter openings and locations.
Shelters provide simple meals and beverages; if you have special dietary needs or want snacks,
you must bring your own. Shelters provide basic first aid only; cots and medical care are not
provided.
NO smoking, alcohol, firearms, or pets are allowed in risk shelters
(Except Service Animals).
Each person is given 20 square feet of room plus.

Protecting Your Boat
Charge batteries for automatic bilge pumps.
For a boat stored on a trailer, latch the boat and trailer down in a protected area. Let the
air out of tires before tying the trailer down.
Place blocks between the frame members and the axle inside each wheel. Secure with
heavy lines to fixed objects from four directions, if possible.

Drawbridges will not open for boats when an evacuation has been ordered.
Keep your vessel registration number and location information with you. Inform the local
marine patrol or police officials of your secured vessel’s identification and location.
Check your lease or ownership contract with your marina. Know your responsibilities.
Make plans with someone to care for your boat if you are out of town.
Seal all openings to make the boat as watertight as possible.
Remove loose gear from the deck. Store it securely inside or at home.
Reduce dock or piling crash damage by securing old tires along the sides of the boat.
Secure the boat for all directions. Remember, a boat could be pulled under as the tide
rises.
If the boat is left on a davit, open the boat drains before securing.
Do not block the passage of other boats which have moorings farther inshore.
Leave early for safe harbor if you choose to relocate when a hurricane warning is issued.
Do not attempt to leave unless you are equipped to travel long distances in rough
weather.
Boaters can take the following steps in preparation for severe weather
Securing a vessel
NEVER stay on or in your boat during a storm. When you are securing your boat, remove
boat documents, radios and other valuables from the vessel prior to the storm.

Safe Room
For more information visit flash.org. Make sure all family members know where the safe areas
are in your home and be sure to take your disaster supplies with you into your safe room.
Yard Preparation
Do all major cutting/tree removal before June 1, from December through April.
Cut back all trees and weak branches that could contact buildings.
Thin your foliage so wind can flow freely through branches.
Place tree trimmings at the curb on your regular scheduled collection day and follow the
6/50 rule (six feet in length and each piece cannot exceed 50 lbs. in weight).
Containerize small pieces of vegetation such as pine needles, leaves, twigs, etc.
Clean your yard of any items that could become missiles in a storm.
Pre-Hurricane Season Maintenance (December through April)
Once a Storm Has Been Named
Do not cut down trees or do major yard work.
Do not begin construction projects that produce debris.
Once a watch or warning has been issued, do not trim vegetation of any kind.
Mass cutting places a tremendous burden on the normal collection process and there is
not enough equipment or manpower to collect the additional materials before the storm
makes landfall. You could put not only yourself at risk, but your neighbors as well.
16
>> Knowing What to Do
is Your Best Protection <<
Do not take materials to the curb, transfer stations or landfill during a watch or warning
period. Services may be suspended and facilities closed early to prepare for the storm.
Once a Storm Has Been Named (cont'd)
For additional information, contact the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) Customer Informa-
tion Services at 561-697-2700 or 1-866-792-4636 (toll-free) or visit swa.org/Hurricane for
updates on your collection services.
Hurricane Shutters
Shutters should be attached to the structural framing of the house and not the window or door
frames. Install second-story and difficult shutters first. Make sure all exposed metal fittings
(including screws, embedded anchors, etc.) are weather (corrosion) resistant. Always follow
proper instructions when installing your choice of window protection.
To Do List
Make a family plan. Who does what and where will your family ride out the storm.
Know the disaster plan of your child’s school or daycare.
Trim trees and store loose objects. Install/test your smoke detector.
Use a video camera to record the contents of your home and store video footage with
a friend who lives out of town.
Take pictures of important documents, photocopy important papers and store safely
in a water proof container.
Make plans to board your pet if you plan to go to a shelter.
Obtain cash.
Establish an out-of-state contact to call in case of emergency.
17
Choose the Right Shutters!
18
General Preparations
Turn on TV or radio and listen for continuing updates.
Review your evacuation plan.
Check evacuation kit and/or family disaster supplies kit and gather any missing items.
Contact family members to coordinate storm preparations.
Notify your out-of-area host that you may be evacuating.
Place important documents and photos in waterproof plastic bags.
Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest setting; open only when necessary and close
quickly.
Freeze plastic jugs or cartons of water.
Fill up drinking water containers.
Scrub bathtub and fill with water; keep bucket handy for flushing toilet.
Fuel up vehicles and propane tanks; obtain fuel for generators.

Remove turbine and cap vent hole when storm is approaching.
Bring in outdoor furniture, wind chimes, flags, trash cans, grills, antennas, etc.
Tie down or stabilize boat.
Secure outdoor gates.
Reinforce garage door.
During a Watch
Use the Evacuation Zone Look-Up Tool at ReadyPBC.com or view the Know Your Zone
Map (on the last page) to see if you are in an evacuation area.
Take action early, DON'T wait until a hurricane warning is declared.
19
During a Warning | Landfall
Stay away from windows and doors even if they are covered.
Take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway.
Close all interior doors.
Secure and brace external doors.
If you are in a two-story house, go to an interior rst-oor room, such as a bathroom or closet.
If you are in a multiple-story building and away from the water, go to the rst or second oors
and take refuge in interior rooms away from windows.
Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object.
Go to your safe room if conditions warrant.
Keep battery-operated radio or TV on an emergency information station.
Keep ashlight with you.
Do not open doors or windows, not even “just to take a look”.
Stay away from windows.
Do not operate gas grill or portable generator.
Stay off the phone unless absolutely necessary.
Turn off utilities if told to do so by authorities.
Unplug small appliances.

After the Storm
DO NOT venture out in the hours immediately following a hurricane. More injuries and
fatalities occur after a major storm event than as a result of the weather.
BE PATIENT. You won’t be able to return to your home or business until search and rescue
operations are complete and safety hazards, such as downed power lines, are cleared. It may
take time for emergency crews to reach your neighborhood.
Driving is extremely hazardous with storm debris on the roads, traffic signals that aren’t
working, signs that are down, flooding and downed power lines.
Do not drive unless absolutely necessary. Drive slowly and approach all intersections with
extreme caution. Treat intersections with missing/non-working trafc signals or missing stop
signs as a four-way stop.
Never drive through ooded roadways. The depth of the water is not always obvious. Also,
the road bed may not be intact under ood waters.
If there is danger of ooding and your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher
ground. Rapidly rising water may engulf the vehicle and its occupants, sweeping them away.
Do not visit disaster areas. Your presence may slow down emergency operations.
Obey curfews. They are mandatory and will be re-evaluated daily. Anyone out during curfew
could be subject to arrest.
When a trafc signal regains power, it may ash red or yellow. Drivers should stop at the
ashing red light and proceed cautiously through a ashing yellow light.
If the power is out and the signal is dark, the intersection should be treated as a four-way stop.

Generator Safety
Portable generators are useful when temporary or remote electrical power is needed, but they
can be also hazardous. Always follow the instructions that come with your generator.
Ensure you have the correct cords and connectors.
Don’t ll the fuel tank until right before the storm (it grows stale and unsafe in a hot garage).
If your generator uses a battery rather than a rope pull, ensure the battery is kept charged.
Protect the generator from coming in contact with water, and don’t let any protection
impede air flow that cools the engine and generator.
Below are some generator tips:
Carbon Monoxide Hazards
Electrical Hazards
Fire Hazards
NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages, crawl spaces, and other
enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is
difficult to detect. Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent CO build-up.
Place outside and away from doors, windows, and vents. Install CO alarms in your home
and test them frequently.
NEVER try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet, a
practice known as “back feeding.” This is an extremely dangerous practice that presents an
electrocution risk to utility workers and neighbors served by the same utility transformer.
NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Store ammable liquids outside of living areas
in properly-labeled, non-glass safety containers secured prior to the storm’s arrival.
Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool. Gasoline spilled on hot
engine parts could ignite.

Repairing Your Damaged Home
Blue Roof Program
Secure Exposed Pools
Repair Windows
The US Army Corps of Engineers implements the blue roof program on behalf of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Operation Blue Roof provides homeowners with free
temporary blue plastic roof coverings for eligible homes damaged by a hurricane.
This program allows victims back into their homes so that they can return to their routines as
quickly as possible. After a hurricane, registration sites will be established in the county.
Registrants must fill out an application and sign a right-of-entry form.
The Corps will employ contractors to install plastic sheeting on homes of pre-qualified
applicants. The sheeting is for free-standing homes, not apartments or commercial
establishments. The sheeting cannot be installed on tile or flat roofs. No individual tarps will be
available for distribution at the registration sites.
(Code may vary by your municipality)
County code requires barriers around all swimming pools; failure to comply could result in a
fine of up to $1,000 per day. To temporarily cordon off the pool area, property owners can use
orange plastic construction fencing supported by stakes or steel rods (rebar) driven into the
ground. Rope or plastic tape is not adequate. Temporary barriers must be at least four feet
from the ground with no holes or gaps wider than four inches. For more information, contact
Code Enforcement at 561-233-5500.
(Code may vary by your municipality)
Repair broken windows as soon as possible after a hurricane. According to county code, glass is
required in all windows. Immediately after a hurricane, code enforcement will allow ample time
for residents to repair broken windows.

Yard Clean-up
General Purpose Tarps
Repairing Your Damaged Home (cont'd)
Heavy gauge and extra-heavy gauge polyethylene waterproof tarps are available from hardware
stores. They have sewn-in edges for extra strength and rust-proof aluminum grommets. These
blue tarps can be used temporarily on a damaged roof but cannot be relied upon to provide
protection during a hurricane.
Yard Clean-up
Please be patient.
Be especially cautious if using a chainsaw to cut fallen trees.
Keep household garbage, recycling and vegetative and/or construction debris in separate
piles.
Securely containerize all household garbage to be placed curbside on your scheduled day.
Don’t place any debris near or on a fence, mailbox, power line equipment, poles,
transformers, downed electrical wiring, water meters or storm drains.
Know what your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy covers and what you will need
to submit a claim. Take photographs of all damage before repairs and keep all receipts.
Make temporary repairs to correct safety hazards and minimize further damage.
Contact your local building department for information on required building permits.
Permits are always required for any kind of demolition or permanent repairs, reconstruction,
roofing, or filling.

Hurricane Myths & FAQ
3. I’m going to open the windows on the side opposite the wind so the air pressure doesn’t explode
my house. The best way to keep your home safe is to keep the wind OUT! Studies have shown
that opening a window can increase the amount of damage done by wind. When a hurricane
threatens, keep your home sealed up tight.
4. Why should I prepare my house? When the big one comes, it’s going to be destroyed anyway.
While a hurricane’s winds can destroy even the most solid structures, taking some basic
precautions can significantly reduce damage from a storm. Pictures of areas devastated by
hurricanes will often show one house standing while a neighbor’s lies in ruins. The difference?
The owners of the house in good shape took some basic precautions to safeguard their
property. Shuttering windows, bracing garage and entry doors and bringing in yard items can
mean the difference between destruction and minor damage.
5. The storm surge is only 9 feet at the most and my condo is on an upper oor, so I’m riding the
storm out. Vertical evacuation, or escaping the rising storm surge by going to the upper stories
of a building, is an option. However, wind speeds increase the higher you go, so you may be
evacuating into a more dangerous place. If so, the high winds and water could make getting
help to you nearly impossible after the storm passes.
6. When I get the evacuation order, I’m leaving. There is no high ground here, and it will be much
safer inland. Even with Palm Beach County’s long coastline, not all near-coastal areas are subject
to evacuation. In fact, in some locations, beach residents need travel no more than one mile to
get to safe areas. Traveling a great distance to escape the effects of the storm may actually
lead you into danger if you become stranded in evacuating traffic when the storm nears. Also,
the further you go to evacuate, the longer it will take you to get there and to your home after the
storm.
1. It will never happen here! That’s probably what people in New Orleans, Homestead, and the
Keys have said. But the entire coast from Texas to Maine is vulnerable to hurricanes!
2. My windows are ready. I have them taped. Taping windows to prevent breakage or limit the
amount of shattering is not an effective form of window protection and can create airborne
daggers of glass should the windows break. Window coverings made of 5/8-inch plywood or
metal and fastened correctly can improve the chances of having your home survive the impact
of a storm.
27
7. Are there sufcient shelters for people if we’re threatened by a Category 4 or 5 storm?
Yes. Studies have shown that less than 10 percent of the people in evacuation zones go to local
shelters. In Palm Beach County, we have shelter space for at least 55,000 people who live in an
evacuation zone. If people do not live in evacuation zones or mobile/manufactured homes or
substandard housing, they do not need to go to shelters and should make plans to either leave
the county or stay home or with friends.
8. Should I evacuate during a Category 4 or 5 storm? Mandatory evacuations are issued for people
living along the coastal area and barrier islands subject to sea water surge; mobile/
manufactured homes regardless of location; and persons living in substandard housing. We
encourage people to “run from water and hide from wind”.
Evacuation is not required or recommended for persons living away from the coast or for
persons living in structurally sound homes. Stay home and stay off the roads. That’s why we
encourage people to have a sufficient Emergency Supply Kit. If you plan to leave the county, you
must leave early, at least three to five days before a storm’s projected landfall.
9. What if I can’t drive and need transportation out of the county? If you live in an evacuation zone,
mobile home, or substandard housing and do not have transportation, you need to register with
Palm Tran Connection for the Special Transportation Assistance Program by calling
561-649-9848 or 877-870-9849 (toll-free).
You will be placed on a list and when evacuation orders are issued, you will be contacted and
provided transportation to the nearest county shelter. We do not provide transportation out of
the county or for those not meeting the above criteria.
10. Is Palm Beach County prepared? Yes. Our hurricane response and recovery plans are well
seasoned and our staff is prepared. The county and the cities have developed a well-coordinated
response to provide public safety and health services to those areas affected by a hurricane.
Florida Power and Light representatives are at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and
the county coordinates power restoration with them. State and federal response agency
representatives will be housed at the EOC before, during, and after the storm to pWrovide
assistance to us. We have a dedicated staff whose sole purpose is to save lives and protect
property after a storm and get us back to full operation as soon as possible.

Use What You Have
Stock up on personal care and cleaning
items. Check your supplies now to make
sure you have these supplies on hand.
DonÊt forget disposable plates, cups
and utensils, paper towels, and
toilet paper. Insect repellent and
sunscreen should be included. If
you have an adequate supply
on hand, you will not need to
purchase them when you go
shopping.

First Aid
During a storm, phone and electrical
lines go down. Dangerous weather
conditions prevent emergency
vehicles from responding to
emergency situations. Preparing
yourself and your family with
CPR and First Aid training can save the life
of a loved one.

Water
Water will be needed for drinking,
cooking, and bathing. Store enough bottled
water for all members of your family and pets
before the storm. Clean water that could be
used for bathing & washing dishes is in your
water heater.
Everyone needs to prepare for
emergency situations, but shopping
for supplies can be expensive and
strenuous. Shopping for items a little
at a time before an event, can reduce
the stress of recovery by avoiding
long lines and empty shelves.

Tune In
Local media are your primary
source of information during
disaster. They work with the
Emergency Operation Center to provide
up-to-date information that can keep you
safe. Be sure to have a battery-operated
radio and stock up on plenty of batteries.
Stay informed about weather conditions,
hazards, closed roads, curfews, and relief
center locations.

Safety
Most hurricane related
injuries occur after the storm
when people are cleaning up debris. Wear
proper safety gear, make sure you know
how to properly use power tools and
machinery and never work alone. It may be
best to hire skilled and insured professionals
to do some work.

What You Need
Only you know what you need. Some families
will need special items added to their disaster
list. These include baby food and baby care
items as well as items for your pet. Make sure
you have spare batteries for your hearing aid
and a spare pair of eyeglasses.

Your Property
Before hurricane season, make a complete
inventory of your valuables and personal
property. Store important
documents and valuables
in a safe dry place. If you
evacuate, take them with
you if you can. Take a
photo inventory before the storm and then take
photos of any damage after the storm and then
take photos of any damage after the storm for
your insurance adjuster. Be sure that you are
prop
erly insured and understand all of the
conditions of your policy prior to a disaster.
This will save you from unfortunate surprises
during recovery.

Have Patience
Damage after a hurricane is
unpredictable. It can take
several days, and in some
cases, several weeks to
restore power. Crews
will begin work as soon
as they can to clear
roads and restore
services. Be patient.
Plan for loss of power,
phones, water, and cable
television. Have activities on hand for your
family. Remember that everyone in the
community is experiencing the same disaster.

Everyday Supplies
Disasters can happen without warning. It is
a good idea to have disaster supplies on
hand year-round. Make sure you always
have a working fire extinguisher, smoke
detectors, and a carbon monoxide detector.
These items save lives
and reduce property
damage. To reduce risk
of fire,
