How to prepare for a storm?

Protect areas where wind can enter. Windows and doors should be secured with storm panels. Another option is to cover windows with plywood.

Protect electrical equipment with surge protectors and waterproof covers.

Tourists: Listen to announcements from your hotel, cruise line, or resort. Be sure to follow all orders issued by officials.

Tree Trimming: Do not perform any tree trimming or clearing activities or place trash on the curb during a tropical storm or hurricane watch.

Water: Fill plastic or aluminum containers once a storm watch is issued. It is recommended to use large containers instead of small bottles.
