Hurricane season starts June 1 and lasts until November 30.  A hurricane WATCH means that there's a POSSIBILITY that hurricane conditions could occur within 36 hours.  A hurricane WARNING means that sustained winds of at least 74 MPH are expected within 24 hours.

Before a hurricane

• Have a disaster plan
• Board up windows
• Bring in objects from outside that could blow away
• Know where all the evacuation routes are
• Prepare disaster supplies kits for your home and car

During a hurricane

• Stay away from low-lying and flood prone areas
• Always stay indoors.  Leave mobile homes and to a shelter

After a hurricane

• Stay indoors until it is safe to come out
• Do not attempt to drive in flooding water
• Stay away from standing water as it may be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines
