When a storm threatens your area, or a hurricane watch is issued: >Gather up your supply kit >Get in touch with friends/family outside of the area >Fill your car's gas tank and keep it full, as there may not be gas available later >Sit down and and plan an evacuation route >Secure or bring in any outdoor furniture, decor, etc. You may also want to consider boarding your windows at this time. The goal is to have as many preparations in place as possible before a hurricane warning is issued, so that when they are posted, you can evacuate as soon as possible, giving you and your family the most time possible to get to a safer place inland.
