Hurricane Sandy is targeting the Mid-Atlantic and

Northeast coasts and is expected to bring high winds, heavy

rain, extreme tides and possibly even snow to a

wide geographical area up and down the East

Coast. As the storm approaches, it is important to

think ahead about the things you can do to help

protect yourself and your home.

If you have not already considered these action items, now is a great time to do

so.

 

–  Assemble your disaster supply kit that includes bottled water, nonperishable

food items, medical supplies, batteries and flashlights.

 

– Bring in outside furniture and other objects that could cause property

damage in the event of high winds.

 

–  Make sure there is gas in the car and you are ready to evacuate

immediately if you are told to do so. If you do evacuate, do not go back

home until local officials say it is safe.

 

– Be be sure to stay indoors during a hurricane.

Don’t be fooled if there is a pause in the wind. It could be the eye of the

storm, and the winds will come again.

 

–  Listen to radio or television for weather updates, and stay in touch with

your neighbors about evacuation orders.

 

– Avoid using the phone except for an emergency so the phone lines can

stay open for others.
