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.

Disasters can happen at any time with sometimes little or no warning so being well prepared is essential.

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 a family communication plan?

* Do you have an emergency supply kit for at least 14 days?

* Are you familiar with the emergency plans for your children’s school, spouses’ workplace?

* 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!
