Disaster Preparedness
In an emergency, you need an action plan! Whether faced with a hurricane or some other disaster that interferes with everyday life, use the links below to answer questions like, "Should I stay or should I go?", "What do I need to prepare my home for a storm?", "What do I need in the house if I stay?", "What do I need if I go to a shelter?", "What do I do with my pet and how do I prepare for them?" and "How do receive local alerts and information?" and more. This information is reviewed and subject to change, so check every year for updates!
