Day 2 of Hurricane Prep Week is about having an emergency kit at work, in your car, and at home. This could include a backpack, water, non-perishable food, a blanket, etc. See the full list here-> https://bddy.me/3hgd5EL

Day 3 of Hurricane Prep Week is about reviewing your insurance. Look at your policies ahead of time to see what's covered and if flood insurance is available to you since it's the leading cause of damage from tropical systems. For more insurance tips visit https://bddy.me/33BvT9h

Day 4 of Hurricane Prep Week is about having an evacuation plan. Plan your route and have an alternate. Remember, you may not have to drive hundreds of miles to evacuate, only far enough away from the evacuation area.

Day 5 of Hurricane Prep Week is about getting your home ready. Trim your trees to prevent damage from snapped branches and board up your windows to protect them from flying debris. More ways to strengthen your home visit https://www.weather.gov/wrn/hurricane-strengthen-home
