Take the following steps to ensure you and your loved ones are protected: 

• Develop a household disaster plan and know how to contact family members at all times. Identify an out-of-town friend or family member to be the "emergency family contact" and make certain all family members have the contact info.  
• Designate an emergency meeting spot - a familiar location where family can meet if the residence cannot be accessed.  
• Know hurricane and storm risks in your community. 
• If you live near coastal areas, learn about your area's storm surge history and your community's warning signals and evacuation plans, including safe routes inland and the location of official shelters.  
• Know where to relocate pets during a storm - most shelters will not allow pets.  
• Keep the following supplies on-hand: 
• Enough non-perishable food and water supplies for 10 days. 
• Battery-operated radios and flashlights and an ample supply of batteries. 
• A first aid with supply of medicines.  
• Important documents: Insurance policies, medical records, bank account numbers, Social Security card, etc. in a waterproof container. 
• Cash, checkbook, credit cards and ATM cards. 
• An emergency contact list of people and organizations who may need to be called: schools, doctors, providers, and insurance contacts. 
• Take the following preventative measures: 
• Obtain and store materials, such as plywood, necessary to properly secure your home.  
• Repair loose and clear clogged rain gutters and down spouts. 
• Secure or bring inside lawn furniture and other loose, lightweight objects such as garbage cans and garden tools that could become projectiles in high winds. Also keep trees and shrubbery trimmed of dead wood.  
• Review insurance policies to determine extent of coverage before a storm strikes.  
• Determine where to move boats in an emergency.  
• Be aware of local weather conditions by listening to National Weather Service broadcasts on NOAA Weather Radio and reports from local television and radio stations.  
• Know how to turn off the power, heat and water at home.
