Hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, with most storms forming after Aug. 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The storms can cause high winds, heavy rain, flooding and other dangerous conditions, with coastal areas most affected.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Know your community\u2019s hurricane plans, including evacuation routes.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Complete a personal preparedness plan that includes a household inventory and the location of important family documents.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Prepare your home for hurricane-force winds or flooding.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Store enough food and water to last at least three days. One gallon of drinking water per person per day is recommended.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Prepare a first-aid kit and make plans for pets.<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong> Keep contact information current using a physical address \u2014 not a PO Box \u2014 and mobile telephone number. Go to the Life Changes LiteBlue page<\/span><\/a><\/strong> and update your address if necessary.<\/p>\n
