Disaster Prepara on
Hurricane Irma reminded us of the importance of disaster prepara on. Most of us
breathe a sigh of relief when hurricane season ends and don’t think much of it un l
the next year. However, disaster preparedness should be something we think about
year-round. In addi on to hurricanes, we must consider heavy rainfall, fires, torna-
does, and other natural events as poten al disasters for which we would want to
prepare.
• Keep a kit of important supplies and ensure it is always refilled if items are used.
This should include water, non-perishable food, flashlights, ba eries, and im-
portant documents.
• Keep open communica on with the members of your household about what
needs to happen in the event of a disaster. If you have children, consider prac c-
ing with them from me to me so that in the event of a disaster, your kids will
remember what to do and where to go.
• Review your insurance policies regularly and ensure that they are current and
meet the needs when pertaining to coverage and hazard coverage. Do the same
with your health insurance.
It is never fun to think of a disaster happening, but the more prepared you can be, the
be er the outcome should the worst case scenario occur.
