Knowing How to Prepare For Damaging Storms in Fayetteville

9/9/2019 (Permalink)

You can’t stop a tropical storm or hurricane, but you can take steps now to protect you and your family.

One important way to prepare is take the time to make a plan. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most Americans do not have supplies set aside or plans in place to protect themselves or their family’s health and safety in the event of a natural disaster, a power outage, or a flu pandemic.

The (CDC) recommends that you prepare now for a storm emergency.

 A large-scale emergency like a hurricane or a lengthy power outage can limit your access to supplies and services for several days, weeks, or even months.

Still, many North Carolina residents do not have an emergency kit for their home.
Be prepared with food and safe water, basic supplies, and the personal items you need to protect your health in an emergency.

Have you planned for your personal needs?

PERSONAL NEEDS
Gather enough food, water, and medical supplies to last at least 72 hours.

What about medication?
