6/8/2021 (Permalink)

Have an emergency kit at work, in your car, and at home so you're ready any time, anywhere.

Hurricane season has begun so we're sharing tips to help you get ready.

Step 1. Create a plan.

Start by creating an emergency plan for your family that includes emergency meeting places in your home, neighborhood, and outside your neighborhood. Create a plan here-> https://bddy.me/2SBwVQp

Step 2. Build an emergency kit.

Have an emergency kit at work, in your car, and at home so you're ready any time, anywhere. This kit could include a backpack, water, non-perishable food, a blanket, and more. See the full list here-> https://bddy.me/3y0hrWq

Step 3. Review your insurance.

Look at your policies ahead of time to see what's covered and if flood insurance is available to you since it's the leading cause of damage from tropical systems. For more insurance tips visit https://bddy.me/3uH6hE5

Step 4. Have an evacuation plan.

Plan your route and have an alternate. Remember, you may not have to drive hundreds of miles to evacuate, only far enough away from the evacuation area.

Step 5. Get your home ready.

Trim your trees to prevent damage from snapped branches and board up your windows to protect them from flying debris. Here are more ways to strengthen your home-> https://bddy.me/3tMHgWH
