Just like the last few years we are here to help keep everyone up to date on their hurricane prep! Since our season has begun its time to be prepared because as we know here on the Gulf Coast anything can happen and it can happen quickly and without warning
Hurricane Watch – Get prepared and have a set plan!
Prepare your home by securing anything outside like outdoor furniture, grills, toys, umbrellas and trash cans etc,
Pack/check your hurricane emergency kit, which should contain things like flashlights, bottled water, first-aid kit, radio, batteries and non-perishable food. See full list HERE
Fill your cars with gas.
Have your evacuation plan ready so theres no last minute decisions to be made.
Keep prescriptions filled and ready to pack.
Place important items and documents in waterproof cases or bags and somewhere you can get to quickly.
Stay tuned to local news and storm projections.
Hurricane Warning – Finish your preparation and plan to leave if directed by local officials.
Go over your evacuation plan and make sure it is still a safe route

If you plan to ride out the storm:

Have flashlights handy in all rooms.

Have candles and lighters.
Pack coolers with ice bags.
