June 1st begins the start of hurricane season – so I would like to use this opportunity to urge all Floridians to BE PREPARED.
We are blessed to be living in a state surrounded by water and beautiful beaches, but from time to time, that also means that we are vulnerable to hurricanes.
Experience has shown that when people are adequately prepared, it’s more likely they will be safer and rebound more quickly than those who don’t take action ahead of time.
Having essential supplies for at least 3 days can ensure that basic needs are met immediately following a storm.
Items like canned food or other non-perishable food, bottled water, and batteries, radios, cell phones and flash lights are best.
Also, planning for vulnerable members of a family will lessen stress during a crisis. Necessary arrangements to ensure their safety should be made ahead of time.
So Floridians can go to FloridaDisaster.org for additional help if necessary.
Thank you for paying attention. Thank you for being prepared, and let’s have a safe hurricane season.
