Let’s get ready for hurricane season. Today you can determine your hurricane risks, determine whether you live in an evacuation zone, review/update your insurance policies, replenish your hurricane emergency supplies, and start thinking about how you will prepare your home for the coming hurricane season. You are encouraged to complete these simple preparations before hurricane season begins on June 1. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Determine your risks.
• Develop an evacuation plan.
• Assemble disaster supplies.

• Bring in all furniture, toys, and any other objects that could become dangerous.
