Stay Safe During a Hurricane — As we continue through hurricane season on Florida’s west coast, it’s crucial to take precautions and be prepared for any type of storm. Protecting your home and family starts with planning ahead.

Stay Informed

Keep track of local weather updates through trusted news outlets and alerts. Staying informed helps you act quickly when conditions change.

Prepare Your Home

Bring outdoor furniture inside, store valuables in sealed plastic containers, and secure all windows to prevent damage from strong winds and rain.

Stock Up on Supplies

Have enough nonperishable food and water to last at least a week for your entire household.

Create an Emergency Kit

Include essential items such as medical supplies, flashlights, extra batteries, and a battery-powered radio.

Fill Up Your Car

Ensure your gas tank is full in case an evacuation is necessary.

Know Your Flood Risks

Check FEMA’s flood zone maps to see if your home is located in a high-risk area.

After the Storm – Flood Safety Tips

Flash floods are common during hurricanes, and floodwaters can be contaminated with sewage, leading to serious infections. If your home experiences flooding:

• Discard any items that came in direct contact with floodwater.

• Wash your hands thoroughly after any contact with floodwater.

• Never allow children to play in floodwater.
