Hurricane Preparedness

This video provides some quick hurricane preparedness tips. Please read more below:

Hurricanes and other disasters can leave personnel cut off from power, transportation, communication, food and medical supplies for days. Many of the dangers of these situations can be managed or even minimized by planning ahead and taking basic precautionary measures. Family preparedness should include, at a minimum, having an evacuation plan, access to emergency contact information outside of the region and access to an emergency kit. Emergency kits should consists of batteries, two-way radios, manual can openers, first-aid supplies, cell phone chargers, a weather band radio, prescription drugs, water and water storage, as well as non-perishable foods. Ideally, the kit should include enough supplies to last three days. Preparations should also include attention to special needs, adequate gasoline supply for automobiles, chainsaws or generators and supplies for the caring and shelter of family pets.

Disaster preparations include knowing what information resources are available before a crisis occurs. A variety of information is available online in support of family readiness including:

- Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System, http://go.usa.gov/kQ4, which provides a standardized method for the Navy to account, manage and monitor the recovery process for personnel and their families affected and/or scattered by a wide-spread catastrophic event.

- Red Cross Hurricane Preparedness Guide, http://www.preparehr.org/documents/RedCrossReadyHurricaneGuide2pg.pdf, which provides general overview of tips and guidelines for hurricane preparedness.
