Hurricane Preparation

Major considerations:

  • Pay attention to the weather forecast and news alerts from the town government
  • Prepare an emergency kit before the storm arrives
  • Determine in advance where you will go if you need to evacuate.  Shelters may be in different locations than during past emergency events.
    Try to make your own arrangements, if possible. 
  • Secure outdoor items such as lawn chairs that can blow away and in some cases cause damage.
  • Refresh batteries in flashlights and radios. Be prepared in the event the power is out for multiple days.
