By now, we have been getting major weather effects from hurricane season and it may cause damage to your home or business. There are some things you can do in preparation should a hurricane, or storm weather hits. 

• Create a plan with your family: Whether it’s the possibility of tornadoes, hurricanes, or floods families need to be prepared. A plan should include evacuation routes, emergency numbers, shelter possibilities, and a communication strategy.

• Build a disaster kit: The kit should have basics: bottled water, non-perishable snacks, flashlights, batteries, sanitation items, important documents, and first aid kits. 

• Practice the plan: You will want to practice evacuation routes, shelter areas, and memorizing emergency numbers.

• Stay informed: You will want to keep your family safe, so staying informed is critical. When a major disaster occurs, it is advised that everyone should have a reliable resource for emergency alerts: phone apps or emergency radio. 

• Tackle storm anxiety: Creating a plan is the first step in tackling anxiety. Make sure to allow your child to talk through their fears and concerns.
