Prepare for a Hurricane in St Tammany Parish

August 31, 2008 by admin Leave a Comment

These are a few necessary items when preparing for a hurricane or planning to evacuate for a hurricane. Plan ahead, and be prepared. It is your behind on the line.

I received this email from a co-worker who has a friend whom works for the American Red Cross. Here is a link to volunteer with the Southeast Louisiana Chapter of the Red Cross.

http://www.arcno.org/index.php?pr=Volunteer

—

Have a personal disaster plan and kit ready. Doing so will make you prepared for any potential disaster including hurricanes and house fires.

Make sure you have an out-of-state contact, full tank of gas, medicines, water, and cash as part of your plan and that all family members know what to do. If you know of individuals who will need assistance help them connect to community resources such as 311. Include pets as part of your preparedness efforts.

Disaster kit: (you might not need everything on this list; pick what is important for your family)
