Hurricane Preparedness Week Saturday Complete Your Written Plan The time to prepare for a hurricane is before the season begins, when you have the time and are not under pressure If you wait until a hurricane is on your doorstep, the odds are that you will be under duress and will make the wrong decisions; take the time now to write down your hurricane plan Know where you will ride out the storm and get your supplies now; you don t want to be standing in long lines when a hurricane warning is issued; those supplies that you need will probably be sold out by the time you reach the front of the line Being prepared, before a hurricane threatens, makes you resilient to the hurricane impacts of wind and water; it will make the difference between you being a hurricane victim and a hurricane survivor
