It’s vital to plan before a storm to ensure you have necessities. Make sure your emergency kit is well stocked with supplies including water, food, prescriptions, first aid items, batteries and other important items. If you live in a flood-prone or low-lying area, consider having sandbags prepared at the start of storm season to avoid searching for them when a storm is near. Flooded areas may have hidden dangers, such as downed power lines, debris or wildlife lurking inside. Give emergency personnel ample time to clear roadways of debris before driving, unless absolutely necessary. Be mindful of any curfews in place, and follow them to stay safe. Be sure to evaluate your damage carefully and know when to contact authorities for assistance.
