Hurricane Season: What to Do Before the Storm

Make the most of your preparation time. Be prepared and take action.

• Turn your refrigerator and freezer to the coldest setting.
• Fill bathtubs and large containers with water for sanitation purposes.
• Turn off and properly secure outdoor grill propane tanks.
• Unplug small appliances in the rooms you do not plan to use during a storm.
• Charge cell phones.
• Check the yard and landscaping for any trees that should be trimmed, clear gutters and bring in outside items if they can be picked up by high winds.
• Fill gas cans in the event of an evacuation or to run a portable generator.
• Use hurricane shutters or board up windows and doors with 5/8 inch plywood.
• Reinforce garage doors using a door bracing kit.
