Hurricane Sandy is almost here, and although we are not welcoming this severe storm, we all should prepare for her wrath. Assuming you can, or choose to stay in your home during the storm, here are some safety tips for you:
Please stay safe and listen to what the authorities tell you to do during this storm!
* Plan routes to emergency shelters and register family members with special needs with local authorities.
* Be sure you have several days’ supply of any prescriptions that you or family members are taking.
* Have on hand a five-day supply of water for each person (one gallon per person, per day), along with food that doesn’t require refrigeration, flashlights, a battery-operated radio and a first aid kit.
* Make plans for pets. Have extra food on hand, as well as any medications they need.
* Have extra batteries, a radio, candles and matches on hand
* Bring inside items that can be picked up by the wind.
* Turn off any propane tanks and unplug small appliances.
* Fill your vehicle’s gas tank.
* If high winds are in the forecast for your area, close windows, doors and hurricane shutters. If hurricane shutters are not an option, close and board up windows and doors with plywood.
* As the storm nears, turn the refrigerator and freezer to the coldest settings and keep them closed as much as possible so food will last longer if the power goes out.
*remember to call 911 in case of emergency
