Every year, prior to hurricane season, you and your family should review your hurricane plan and make changes as necessary. Your plan should include IF you will evacuate, WHERE you will go, THE ROUTE you will take to get there, WHEN you will leave and WHAT SUPPLIES YOU WILL TAKE.
If you plan to say home, make sure you have all of the supplies necessary to be on your own for at least 72 hours.
