Hurricane safety tips:
June 1st is the start of hurricane season for Massachusetts. Here are some tips to protect yourself from the storm:
1. Have a plan of action in place if a hurricane were to hit. Best place isn’t to be watching the storm but in your basement, bottom floor of a building or below stairs.
2. Stay indoors
3. Check supplies. Make sure you have a 72 hour kit just in case you are stuck and can’t get out after the storm. First aid, blankets, food, flashlights, water are just a few necessities to have on hand.
4. Make sure your important documents are in a secure location.
5. Figure out an evacuation route.
6. Keep your cell phone charged.
7. Make sure your car has at least a 1/2 tank of gas. Having a gas can is good to have on hand too.
