Hurricane Tracker

Before

• • Know your evacuation zone and route. Have a destination and multiple route options.
• • Stock 3–7 days of water (1 gal/person/day), non-perishable food, and supplies.
• • Board up windows, bring in outdoor furniture, and secure loose objects.
• • Fill your gas tank and keep cash on hand (ATMs may not work).
• • Review insurance — standard policies don't cover flood damage (need NFIP).

During

• • Follow evacuation orders immediately. Don't wait — roads fill fast.
• • If staying: shelter in an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.
• • Beware the 'eye' — calm is temporary, winds will return from the opposite direction.
• • Never drive through floodwater. Turn Around, Don't Drown.
• • Keep refrigerators/freezers closed to preserve food during power outages.

After

• • Don't return until officials say it's safe.
• • Avoid floodwater — it may be contaminated or electrically charged.
• • Use generators OUTSIDE only, at least 20 feet from buildings.
• • Check for gas leaks before entering buildings. Don't use candles.
