3/4/2020 (Permalink)

Summer is an opportune time to take vacations, do outdoor activities, partake in sports, plant flowers, veggies and fruits in your garden, workout outside and more. Know what else it’s a time for? Hurricanes. Here are some tips to help keep you and your family safe this hurricane season: 

Before the Storm

• Build an emergency supply kit, and develop a communication plan.
• Secure outdoor objects that could blow away or cause damage.

During the Storm

• Avoid contact with plumbing. Plumbing and bathroom fixtures can conduct electricity.
• Unplug appliances and other electrical items, such as computers. Power surges from lightning can cause serious damage.

After the Storm 

• Stay away from storm-damaged areas to keep from putting yourself at risk.
• Stay away from downed power lines, and report them immediately.
