Hurricane preparation for families and individuals

Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Scientists can now predict hurricanes, but people who live in coastal communities should plan what they will do if they are told to evacuate. More>>

Protecting your home before and during a hurricane

Take the following measures to prepare for a hurricane. More>>

Emergency supplies you will need

You should stock your home with supplies that may be needed during the emergency period. More>>

Preparing to evacuate

Expect the need to evacuate and prepare for it. The National Weather Service will issue a hurricane watch when there is a threat to coastal areas of hurricane conditions within 24-36 hours. More>>

If you are ordered NOT to evacuate

The great majority of injuries during a hurricane are cuts caused by flying glass or other debris. Other injuries include puncture wounds resulting from exposed nails, metal, or glass, and bone fractures. More>>
