Are You Prepared for the 2023 Hurricane Season?

6/3/2023 (Permalink)

The 2023 Hurricane season is already here! Every year, from the beginning of June to the end of November, severe tropical storms and hurricanes see a significant spike in activity. Being knowledgeable and having a plan ready can help massively when in the path of a natural disaster!

First, create an emergency kit to keep stored away. Backpacks or duffel bags work great for these kits, as they can be quickly picked up and brought along in an emergency! The contents of your kit should include things like warm blankets or additional clothing, medical supplies, food, water, and other helpful things like flashlights and portable battery banks to keep things charged.

Secondly, take the time to research and learn what each category of hurricane means and the dangers they present. Knowing is half the battle when it comes to being prepared! Your home may be suited to sustain a low-category storm, but you could end up trapped should the category increase after the time to evacuate has passed. 

Lastly, remember to always keep up-to-date with storm developments via weather broadcasts. You don't want to be caught off-guard or unprepared!
