Hurricane Preparedness: Get a Disaster Plan

May 24th, 2018 | 1 min read

Being prepared for a tropical storm or hurricane will help with the stress of preparing for a hurricane.

You never know where and what you will be doing when that tropical storm warning comes about. You could be coming back from vacation, a business trip, or out of town altogether.

Ask these four questions of your employees and family members to start putting together your disaster plan:

1. How will you receive emergency alerts and warnings?

Do you have a weather radio? If not, now is the time to get one.
Have you subscribed to Weather Emergency Alerts from your local news?

2. What is your shelter plan?

Identify safe places in your home to weather the storm. Make sure your safe place is:
- Area with no windows or doors
- Stocked with emergency supplies
- Access to food & water

3. What is Your Evacuation Route?

Leave early enough to not be caught in traffic
If you cannot leave sooner, think about the best ways to get out of Vero Beach that will be the least congested
Develop a plan in case you get separated from your family members
Keep extra gas at your home so you are ready to leave without being stuck at the gas pumps
Put an emergency kit in your car
Have a plan to evacuate family members who are disabled

4. What is your communication plan?
