The wildfires on Maui was a harsh reminder that everyone should be prepared for a natural disaster. We are still in the hurricane season which began June 1 and runs through November 30. Taking the time to gather supplies and having a plan for your family in place is critical.

PLAN AHEAD
- Determine an accessible meeting place in case you have to leave your home or work, so you can reunite your family
- Check with your local emergency management office to:
- Sign up for emergency alerts and notifications
- Identify your local emergency alert system (EAS) radio stations
- Know your evacuation and alternate transportation routes
COMMUNICATION
- Write down important emergency contact information
- Texts are more likely to go through than calls
- Have an extra cell phone charger and batteries
- An out-of-area contact can serve as a relay point for family communication
