Sometimes it\u2019s hard to know what to expect during hurricane season. Even the experts have a difficult time predicting exactly what will happen, which is why it\u2019s important to prepare in advance. It\u2019s always a good idea to expect the best, but prepare for the worst. This is probably why National Hurricane Preparedness Week is in May – it gives you time to plan for an emergency that might occur in subsequent months. However, it\u2019s also a good idea to start planning right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nFor starters, you\u2019ll want to assess your risk, which will depend on \nwhere you live and work. Since some regions are more prone to \nhurricanes, the level of your preparation should coincide with the risk.\n Next, you should establish and practice an evacuation plan. This should\n involve all of the family members who live in the same home and include\n transportation plans. For instance, you should be familiar with \ndifferent routes that you will take in an emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nNext, you\u2019ll want to gather all of the supplies that you\u2019ll need. FEMA \nhas provided an acronym that\u2019s easy to remember. It\u2019s the Five Ps of \nHurricane Evacuation and includes People, Prescriptions, Papers, \nPersonal Needs and Priceless items. This will involve gathering \ninsurance documents, communicating with your neighbors and protecting \nyour home. \n \n \n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
