Assemble Important Documents -
It is important
that important documents be removed from a home which is to be evacuated. They
should be stored in a safe place. A bank safe deposit box is used by many. Some
folks will use a Sentry type home safe which is fire and water resistant. Important
records include: Homeowners, automobile and boat insurance contracts; Life insurance
policies; Wills, Trusts; Property Deeds, Marriage Certificates, Military Discharge
Certificates, Birth Certificates, etc.
Protect your windows. Permanent
shutters are the best protection.
Water Availability - If winds are expected to reach category 3 or above, the Water Resources Superintendent will make a determination if the water needs to be turned off. Fill your bath tubs and buckets with water for flushing toilets in event water supply or electricity is turned off.
