June 1 marks the start of the 2020 Hurricane season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a higher than normal hurricane season by 60 percent and predicting 13-19 named storms.
Here are some tips on how to prepare for a hurricane or tropical storm:
- First, you must determine your risk. Do you live in a coastal area and may have storm surges? Or if you live inland will you be more affected by tornadoes and flooding?
- After determining your risk, make an action plan.
- Update and check any supplies you have. It is recommended to have enough food and water for 3 days, as well as, medicines, batteries and more. For a full list visit the NOAA website.
- Look over and possibly revise your insurance coverage.
