Before a Hurricane
It's important to discuss your family emergency plan ahead of time. Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will get back together and what to do in case of an emergency.
As you prepare your emergency kit, become familiar with common hurricane terms. For additional storm preparation information, visit Ready South Florida.
