Well lucky me, Im no stranger to emergency situations..and I have learned a thing or two along the way. Number one, be prepared. If you get notice to evacuate, DONT WASTE TIME, the roads are going to be packed and and driving conditions may be poor,the sooner you leave the better. Make sure you know where the emergency supplies appropriate for your areas disasters are and that they are accessible. Its very easy to bury them under a pile of stuff. Don't forget to do things like turn off the gas and electric. In hurricane prone areas, if a storm is coming, fill your gas tank. Make sure to pick up anything laying around outside. Its amazing how much damage a small thing can do with the force of hurricane winds. Things like nails or screws can become deadly missles...most of all stay safe...dont venture out for a look around, its not worth your life...
