ARE YOU READY? PERFECTING YOUR HURRICANE PLAN
IN A POST-HARVEY WORLD
In the aftermath of Harvey, the arrival of Houston’s first hurricane season will
undoubtedly stoke some trepidation from Houstonians still reeling from last
year’s unprecedented storm, but there’s no reason to panic if you have a proper
plan in place.
While June 1 st marks the official start of Hurricane Season, the Gulf of Mexico
has already seen its first named storm, Subtropical Storm Alberto, which
made landfall on the Florida coast, dumping rain and wreaking havoc across
the country.
Predicting a Higher-than-Average Number of Named Storms
It’s notoriously difficult to predict how active a hurricane season may be,
but forecasters have already warned that the U.S. could expect to see a higher-than-average
number of named storms and hurricanes this year.
When Harvey swamped Greater Houston last year - flooding homes and forcing
many to flee - many residents who were new to the region hadn’t experienced
a storm before and were unprepared for what happened. Even some who had
weathered Houston’s hurricanes and floods in the past were caught flat-footed
by the extreme, widespread flooding caused by a storm of epic proportions.
As the tropics begin to warm again, experts are urging residents to heed the
lessons learned last year and get prepared now before any potential storm
appears in the Gulf.
Top Seven Things You Should Do Now to Get Ready
Assemble a kit. Along with non-perishable food and water (one gallon per
person per day), toss in a flashlight, some spare batteries, cash, first aid
supplies and copies of important paperwork - insurance policies, emergency
contacts and prescriptions - in case you need to grab it and go. As many people
discovered during Harvey, exposure to contaminated floodwater can lead to
skin infections and other injuries. Consider packing protective gear such as
waterproof pants and boots to protect from floodwater and protective masks
to filter the air.
Heed your medical needs. If you have a chronic condition - or you serve as
a caregiver for someone with special medical conditions - be sure to have a
plan in place for managing your health during a storm. Keep a checklist of
