Don't wait until a hurricane is approaching to gather supplies and fill the gas tank of your car. Be sure to have enough water, food, and daily medications for yourself and your family. Weathering a hurricane is something many of us are familiar with, but don't let that get in the way of being prepared for anything. We know from experience that a "routine" storm can become serious overnight. Check on your neighbors and don't forget to charge your phone and have flashlights on hand.
