Prepare for Hurricane Season Starting June 1st
By: Laurent Kergall
Hurricane season is just around the corner. Hurricane season in Hawaii starts June 1. This is a good opportunity to review our preparedness and readiness for any disaster.
* Do you have a family communication plan?
Disasters can happen at any time with sometimes little or no warning so being well prepared is essential.
* Are you familiar with the emergency plans for your children’s school, spouses’ workplace?
Whether at work or at home, it is essential to be prepared. This could be a good opportunity to review your station readiness plans and speak readiness with your teams. Good questions to ask to measure readiness at home:
* Do you have an emergency supply kit for at least 14 days?
* Do you know the evacuations routes and shelters near your home? * In an emergency, should you stay or leave the area? Take care, be prepared, and be safe!
