    Severe weather can happen fast & every area may face different risks. Know what hazards are in the forecast where you live - whether it’s tornadoes, flooding, damaging winds or hail. Make a plan, prepare your emergency kit & have multiple ways to receive alerts.

    If your power is out due to a storm, avoid deadly carbon monoxide poisoning by keeping generators outside your home, dry & properly grounded. With high temperatures across the country, check with local officials for information on shelters or cooling centers available near you.

    #HurricanePrep Week is a great time to make a plan. Do you know what you’ll do, where you’ll go, & how you’ll stay safe if a storm threatens? Think through your next steps — a simple plan can help you act quickly and be prepared. Visit: ready.gov/plan #HurricaneStrong
    Think ahead, have a plan, be prepared for an emergency. Create and practice family communication plan. Pay attention to alerts and warnings. Know evacuation routes. Back up important documents and keep them in a safe place. Choose a safe meeting place, and carry needed medication.
