Hurricane preparedness week

Hurricane season is around the corner, therefore it is important to always be prepared for any major catastrophe. Here are some basic preparedness tips to stay safe from the READY Gov:

• Know where to go. If you are ordered to evacuate, know the local hurricane evacuation route(s) to take and have a plan for where you can stay. Contact your local emergency management agency for more information.
• Put together a disaster supply kit, including a flashlight, batteries, cash, first aid supplies, and copies of your critical information if you need to evacuate
• If you are not in an area that is advised to evacuate and you decide to stay in your home, plan for adequate supplies in case you lose power and water for several days and you are not able to leave due to flooding or blocked roads.
• Make a family emergency communication plan.
• Many communities have text or email alerting systems for emergency notifications.To find out what alerts are available in your area, search the Internet with your town, city, or county name and the word “alerts."
• SERVPRO provides a perfect prevention plan which will allow you to avoid any catastrophies or any emergencies. The ERP (Emergency Ready Profile) will help you to minimize business interruptions and be prepared for this hurricane season.
