It's never too late to learn how to stay safe during a hurricane. The first line of defense is prayer and faith, but there are other things you can do, too. Here are some tips:
Make sure your family knows how to respond to an emergency situation. Have an emergency plan in place that everyone knows about and understands how to use it.
If there is a power outage, for example, know who will take care of which children if the power goes out at home and where everyone should go until the power comes back on.
Make sure everyone in your family knows how to dial 911 if there's an emergency and what to say over the phone when they call 911.
Talk with your neighbors about what they might need from you during a hurricane. Offer them help when they ask for it or let them know what resources are available in their area that might be useful during a storm.
Offer them transportation if they don't have cars or other forms of transportation—just make sure that whatever kind of car you offer is safe enough for their driving abilities.
Consider offering free meals or other forms of assistance if possible; many people will appreciate a helping hand during an emergency situation like this one!
Hurricanes are an extremely scary thing, but there are some things you can do to stay safe.
If you have time to prepare before the hurricane comes, make sure you have enough food and water for at least 3 days.
Make sure you have a plan in place to get out of your house in case it floods or has leaks or other problems that might cause structural damage or health hazards.
Don't forget to take any medications with you when you go outside if they need to be taken with food or water (for example, allergy meds).
If you are elderly or disabled and live alone, it may be best not to leave until the storm passes because this could put your safety at risk. The best thing to do is call 911 and ask for help getting out of the area safely!
Prayers up for Florida. 🙏🙏 Stay safe.
