HURRICANE PREPARATIONS
• Decide on an evacuation plan well in advance as a precautionary measure.
• Inform RPIA or a neighbor, if you intend to evacuate.
• Plan to care for yourself and family without outside assistance for a minimum of seven days.
• Stock non-perishable food and drink. Plan 1 gallon of drinking water per person per day.
• Stock important prescription medications. A four week supply in their original bottles.
• Collect all vital documents and place in a waterproof bag and keep close at hand.
• Turn refrigerator/freezer to coldest setting - freeze plastic jugs/bottles of water.
• Fuel up vehicles, propane tanks and generators.
• Bring outdoor furnishings indoors or secure properly.
• Do not completely drain your pool, lower water level 6 to 12 inches. Turn off electricity to equipment and cover exposed pool pumps.
• Protect your windows with shutters or plywood.
• If you have double-entry doors, protect them as you would a window with shutters or plywood, or nail 2 x 4’s across them from the inside on storm day to prevent them from blowing in.
• Fill bathtubs so you can use the water for washing and flushing.
• Decide on a safe room - an interior bathroom or walk-in closet with no windows.
