Hurricane Season is June 1 through November 30. Now is the time to prepare with a few tips. If you are ordered to evacuate, have a plan of where you will be going and the evacuation route. Prior to leaving, have a disaster supply kit ready with flashlight, batteries, cash, first aid supplies, medications, and copies of your critical information and documents. It is important to have a family emergency communication plan, power and cell towers could be down so you will need to consider a possible meeting point. Do not wait too long for your plans since the earlier you leave there will be less traffic. If you do not need to evacuate, have adequate supplies available in case you lose power, plenty of water, food supply, etc. For more information the website: nola.gov
