Preparing for a Hurricane
Provided by MidAmerica Financial Resources
The hurricane season descended upon us in dramatic fashion this past week.
Hurricane Ian was a significant event that brought massive winds and dangerous storm surges to Florida and the neighboring Gulf states and no doubt future storms will do the same. Although we may not live in an area affected by hurricanes, many of us travel or winter in those areas. Whether you’re in the storm’s path or high and dry, knowing how to endure a large storm is critical.
Plan for the following dangers and be prepared:
*Flooding – Rising water and torrential rains will be the most likely risk for anyone in the affected area. Evacuate to higher ground and sandbag low areas if needed.
*Wind – Hurricane-force winds are nothing to sneeze at. Board up windows if you can, and remove loose or leaning objects around your home.
*Car Risk – Believe it or not, people try to drive in hurricanes, but it’s not a good idea. Park on a hill or high spot if you can. Never drive through deep water.
We are thinking of everyone that was affected by this terrible storm. In future storms, check your local government’s instructions for hurricane evacuations, information, and updates.
