 Hurricane season runs through November 30th and the Navy wants to remind you to prepare you and your family to weather any potential storms. First, ensure your recall information is updated in the Navy Family Accountability and Assessment System or NFAS. Also have an evacuation plan and access to emergency contact information outside of the region. And always have an emergency kit on hand. Kits should include a first aid kit, a battery powered radio, a manual can opener and three days worth of water, non-perishable food and prescription medications for each household member, including pets. You should not only have kits at home but also portable versions in your car and workplace so that you can respond quickly whether you have to shelter in place or evacuate. You can visit ready.navy.mil for additional resources and the full emergency kit supply list. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall.
