Stay Informed
Listen up!
The more you know before, during and after a hurricane, the better off your family may be. So:
- Listen to local officials. If local authorities tell you to evacuate or remain at home, it is vital to your safety that you follow their guidance.
- Know potential evacuation routes - and alternates. Keep a map in your car - and in your kit - at all times.
- Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, local radio, watch TV or check the Internet often for official news and instructions as they become available. While local authorities may not immediately be able to provide information, they'll get it out to the media as soon as they can.
- Do not return to your home until local authorities say it is safe. Even after the hurricane and after flood waters recede, roads may be weakened and could collapse. Buildings may be unstable, and drinking water may be contaminated. Use common sense and exercise caution.
