Hurricane Season: Be Prepared

When gale-force winds start blowing and torrential rains raise water levels, you need to be ready.  Power outages mean refrigerated food and medicine supplies may spoil.  Floods may contaminate tap water and emergency supplies not stored properly with sewage, chemicals, heavy metals, pathogenic microorganisms, or other contaminants.  If the storm or flood is severe enough, you may need to evacuate with little time to prepare.  Don’t put off being prepared until the emergency hits.
