Do you know what to do in the event of a hurricane? It is generally advised that you stay inside on the side of your house away from the wind. If flooding is anticipated, evacuation is recommended. When you evacuate, try to use a route that avoids bridges and lower roads that would be flooded.
It is a good idea to have an emergency kit that includes some clothing, blankets or sleeping bags, water resistant shoes, flashlights, batteries, baby wipes, personal identification, credit / debit cards.
Most importantly, don't leave anyone behind. Pets are part of the family, too.
