As we are still in hurricane season, it is important to take great precautions and be prepared for any type of storm.
- Stay informed: monitor your local weather news to stay up to date.
- Prepare your home: move outside furniture inside the home store valuables in plastic containers, secure all windows.
- Stock up on supplies: Make sure you have enough nonperishable food & water for at least a week.
- Prepare an emergency kit: make sure you create an emergency kit containing medical materials, flashlights, batteries, and a radio.
- Fill up your car: keep your gas tank full.
- Know the flood risk areas: Check if your home is located within FEMA’s flood zone.
Be aware of flash floods during a storm, and the infections they could bring! If your home was flooded there is a chance that it’s contaminated with sewage. This can lead to infections, so follow these tips:
- Throw away any items that came in direct contact with the flood water.
- Always keep your hands clean if you made contact with flood water.
- Don’t let children play in flood water.
