Preparing for a Hurricane

Make a plan

Start thinking about where you and your family will go during a weather emergency.
If you have pets, you should think about where they will go; emergency shelters don’t usually take animals.
Keep in mind that you may have access to telehealth for your medical needs during a storm.
Check the guidelines at your local shelter ahead of time to find out about any COVID-19 screenings or requirements.
If you have special medical needs, go online to register for the special needs shelter in your county.

Keep supplies on hand, like medications and extra food and bottled water.
If you plan to stay in a shelter, you should also bring personal protective equipment, like face masks and hand sanitizer.

Tune in to the news when a storm or hurricane is developing nearby. Listen to evacuation orders. Don’t wait until the last minute to leave.
