With the 2017 hurricane season<br />
upon us, the officials of the Florida<br />
Department of Health — Orange<br />
County encourage residents to make<br />
preparations that can help ensure<br />
safety in the event of severe weather.<br />
Preparation tips include:<br />
• Determine risks to your home,<br />
property or business.<br />
• Develop or update an emergency<br />
evacuation plan, and review the<br />
plan carefully with your family. Don’t<br />
forget to include pets.<br />
• Assemble a disaster supply kit.<br />
• Strengthen your home and complete<br />
any needed repairs.<br />
• Identify your trusted sources of<br />
information for any severe weather<br />
event or hurricane.<br />
• Prepare an emergency preparedness<br />
kit, including water (at<br />
least one gallon a day per person),<br />
nonperishable packaged or<br />
canned food (enough for at least<br />
three to seven days), any necessary<br />
medications, a first aid kit,<br />
flashlights with extra<br />
batteries, pet care items<br />
and important documents<br />
