Make a Solid Evacuation Plan
Sit down and have a conversation with your family and be sure the younger household members understand it.
Don't Forget Your Furry Friends
Your pets should always be included in your emergency plans. The ASPCA provides stickers which will alert rescue personnel, pets are inside your home. This sticker could potential save your pets' life, if they are trapped during a disaster. Preparing a travel kit and emergency supplies will make the process much smoother when transporting your pets in the case of an emergency.
Listen to Authorities
One thing you should never do is ignore updates or instructions from local authorities. Chances are, if they're telling you to evacuate, it's for your own safety. If you do evacuate, return home only when officials advise it is safe to do so, and continue to listen for further updates.
Inspect Your Home
You should always conduct a full inspection of your home before, and after, a hurricane. Taking photos is a sure way to keep track of damage, and even better for filing a claim with your insurance company.
