Hurricane Tips

In order to remain safe during the Hurricane Season you need to be prepared. Here are some tips for you to observe.
 Ensure that you have on hand simple first aid supplies which should include: band aids, drinking water to serve at least a few days and special medication.
 Make sure you have material for battening up doors and windows.
 See that galvanized sheeting on your roofs, out-buildings and fences are securely fastened.
 Trim trees with branches near to buildings or electrical lines. Also pick fruits off trees as these can be carried by the wind and cause further damage.
 Keep in touch with your Parish Disaster Preparedness Committee and know how the committee works.
 Ensure you understand hurricane terminologies such as: Hurricane Watch, Hurricane Warning and Hurricane Alert.
