The best time to prepare for hurricanes is BEFORE hurricane season begins. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late. Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. noaa.gov/prepare-before-hurricane-season

El mejor momento para prepararse es ANTES del comienzo de la temporada de huracanes. Evite tener que apresurarse con los preparativos que pueden salvarle la vida esperando hasta que sea demasiado tarde. Obtenga sus suministros de emergencia mientras las estanterías están aún llenas y obtenga una revisión de su póliza de seguros con anticipación, ya que el seguro contra inundaciones requiere un período de espera de 30 días. noaa.gov/prep-rese-antes-de-la-temporada-de-huracanes

The first step of preparing for hurricanes is to know your risk. Find out today what types of water and wind hazards could happen where you live. Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Impacts from wind and water can be felt hundreds of miles inland, and significant impacts can occur regardless of the storm’s strength. Know if you live in an area prone to flooding, if you live in an evacuation zone, and identify any structural weaknesses in your home.

El primer paso para prepararse para los huracanes es conocer su riesgo. Averigüe hoy qué tipos de peligros del agua o viento podrían ocurrir donde reside. Los huracanes no son solo un problema costero. Los impactos del viento y el agua se pueden sentir a cientos de millas tierra adentro, e impactos significativos pueden ocurrir independientemente de la fuerza de la tormenta. Conozca si reside en un área propensa a inundaciones o en una zona de evacuación, e identifique las vulnerabilidades estructurales de su residencia.
