Are you ready? Hurricane Season starts June 01, 2019


…well it starts every year on June 01 and it is upon us once more. In South Florida the annual preparations have already been underway. As we learned over the last few years, the range of hurricanes is expanding and their reach is far and wide.

Miami Dade however has a excellent Hurricane Readiness Guide. It covers Planning for a storm, what to do during a storm to stay safe as well as post-storm safety. It has plenty of links very relevant to the region, but also applicable to any area that may be affected.

Particularly useful is the DOOR HANGER PROGRAM to let passer by’s know that the house is safe or in need of help when conducting a “windshield sweep” of an affected area.

The guide also includes a Strom surge map for the area to understand some of the forecast data and warnings that will be broadcasted. Of course NOAA has the official Hurricane Center site and tracking, but your local news outlet is sure to cover any storm from warning to after effects.

BE SAFE!
