Don't wait until a storm is heading your way! Survive a hurricane with these safety precautions.
Step 1: Plan ahead
Plan ahead. Know the location of local shelters and how you'll evacuate if you don't have a car. If you have family members with special medical needs, ask local officials if there's a registry so they get help in the event of power outages. Pick a place for family members to meet in case you become separated, and designate an out-of-town friend as the person everyone calls to report that they're safe. Get flood insurance if you don't already have it.
Tip
Make sure you know how to shut off electricity, gas, and water in case you're instructed to do so.
Step 2: Be prepared
Have the following supplies on hand at the start of hurricane season: a 3-day supply of water that provides 1 gallon per person per day; a 3-day supply of non-perishable food that doesn't require cooking; a flashlight and extra batteries; a battery-powered radio that can receive broadcasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; a first-aid kit; and a 7-day supply of medications.
Tip
The Atlantic and Central Pacific hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30; the Eastern Pacific is from May 15 through November.
Step 3: Get ready
If a hurricane warning is issued -- meaning one is expected in the next 36 hours -- bring in anything that can be tossed around by the wind; close and board up all windows and doors with 5/8" marine plywood, unless you have hurricane shutters; clear rain gutters and downspouts; trim trees and shrubs; put your refrigerator and freezer on the coldest setting; and fill your car's gas tank in case you're ordered to evacuate.
Step 4: Go to a safe place
If you live on the first or 2nd floor of a high rise, make plans to take refuge with neighbors between floors 3 and 10 when the storm begins. Residents who live above the 10th floor should evacuate, as should mobile home dwellers and anyone living on a floodplain, near a river, or on an inland waterway.
Step 5: Do last-minute preparations
Shortly before the storm is expected to start, fill your bathtub with water so you have an extra supply on hand. Unplug small appliances and sensitive electronics, and turn off propane tanks.
Step 6: Ride out the storm
When the storm starts, stay away from windows and glass doors and avoid using the phone. Go to your home's lowest level and stay in an interior room, closet, or hallway. Have a mattress or pillow to protect your head. Monitor weather conditions on your radio and don't leave your safe place until local officials say it's okay to do so.
Step 7: Avoid post-storm dangers
If you lose electricity, keep circuit breakers turned off until power is restored, then check for frayed wires. If you see any, call the power company. Leave the house immediately if you smell gas. If you're returning home, don't enter your house if floodwaters remain around the building; you see loose power lines or structural damage; or you smell a gas leak. If you have any safety concerns at all, stay elsewhere until your home is checked by a building inspector or structural engineer.
Did You Know?
2/3 of the hurricanes that hit land in the United States between 1981 and 2011 struck the Gulf Coast. The other third hit the Atlantic Coast.
anyone else coming back here for the nostalgia?
Yep

Grizzly Bear EVACUATE THEN!
dalenis Escobar bruh that was when hurricane Matthew was hitting not Irma
Hurricane Durian is coming in a few days. I just came to Florida. I have no clue what to do. A possible category 4 now.
Same here
I'm from England on holiday here, no one has told us what to do, pretty worried
Abbi Colman trust me I’m not too sure what to do either. Idk if you have but you’re going to need water supply for a course of 3 days. A charged phone. A flash light. Candles. Extra batteries. Canned foods you can eat without cooking. From where I’m at almost everything is gone, but I have family here with extra supply and we’re heading over today. Central Florida is most likely where it’s going to hit IF the forecasters are right. Orlando tends to get hit a little bit harder than Tampa to my knowledge. I’m heading out in a couple of hours today. Stay safe everyone ! Don’t panic. Stay in high ground because there might be flooding. And stay in a big closet or in a bathroom with no windows.
Abbi Colman no one really says anything because hurricanes here at normal, but I’m not from Florida at all so I understand what you’re going through. Just make sure you have a plan B. Also? If there is a state evacuation don’t leave. More ppl die that way in a rush getting out of state. You’re better off inside a home in a bathroom or closet with your supplies.
I live in Florida.. it's coming soon

Sarah Moore me too!! I'm s little scared but I'm gonna be careful. I hope you and your family stay safe!
If you aren't on high land with few trees/loose objects, I would *highly* suggest being prepared to evacuate immediately. I hope we can all ride this out, with few deaths (preferably none)
I live in Virginia Beach I’m honestly screwed
Sarah Moore me to I in 6th grade and idk what’s going to,happen but I am in the dc Area so I am probably will be fine and my mom said she thinks our neighborhood won’t lose power but we’re hoping for the best

Do NOT trim trees or shrubs within 36-48 hours of an expected landfall. Pickup service will have been suspended; and the trimmings may become dangerous projectiles
Pray for everyone in Florida 🙏 Stay safe everyone and evacuate if you have to!
thank you!
Thanks
I am watching because of the Matthew

Pray for Florida
Anyone else in Florida or the Caribbean waiting for hurricane Dorian
Ash Delights I’m watching in South Carolina
Houston we have a problem...
Houston we have a pennant
My grandmama and grandpa live in San Antonio and they only had rain
Is it bad that I want to have GoPro cameras all over a house, stay in a Hurricane Area, and show how to survive with simple tools/supplies in order to teach people who choose to stay home during a hurricane how to survive?
No, it's not. In fact, that is a good idea!
Thanks Awesome Kitty. You're awesome.
Why? During Katrina we were glad we evacuated. Hurricane evacuations are like mini vacations. Who wants to be stuck in a house for days with no water, electricity or EMS when you can just ride the storm out in a hotel or at a friends' house.
If you stay, you should do it. I have been looking for those type of videos and cannot find anything.
I remember I used to binge watch all of these videos
Watching this because of Irma, praying for those in the track of the hurricane.
This video is very useful I watched it when Matthew hit now for Irma
All comments: is anyone watching because of Mathew?
Me: thanks god there's no hurricanes here where I live.
Emojis Are Bae MSP Yeah me too I live in Egypt there are no tornadoes here :)
Emojis Are Bae MSP I live in the UK. Why am I watching this?

Amy Alvarez lmao i live in long island too lmao
Need this for tropical storm dorian (will be hurricane dorian when it passes over)
Dorian only passed FL
Thank God I live in a landlocked state. That's one of the good things about Arizona.
I live in a low-level area in South FL and our family has decided to stay home regardless, pls pray for us
hurricane come to south Florida pray for us plz
Don't worry it's hitting Long Island first that's where I live you will get hit tho it will be fine just make sure matthew doesn't hit to hard otherwise you guys have another hurricane Katrina
ok
omg it's hitting me too. it's my first time in a hurricane and I'm so scared. I hope my roof does not fly off😭
me to Mclandpark.(hope I spelled it right)
good luck
Joaquin is coming straight for VA :( that's where I live
Fall out Bae I live in Lee county va
Who is getting ready for hurricane Florence?
Yeah. Thing may be a Cat 5 before it is over.
bro, im scared
This will be the biggest to ever hit the Carolinas apparently. North Carolina anyway. I've been through at least 5-6 hurricanes but never any like this. I am anxious too. What is even more scary is that this thing is mimicking hurricane Harvey in a few different ways and we all know what that system did to Texas. I am almost certain this will be the highlight hurricane of 2018.
You guys be careful Ok?
Me if I have nothing, I am screwed, I am at neighbor's house because I have nothing
I live in Florida so Hurricane Irma is doing on Sunday.I will keep South Florida in my prayers ❤️
Praying Every hour for Everyone to be safe.
Anyone else preparing for Hurricane Hillary it’s coming to me stage 4 I hope this video helps me and I hope I survive 😭
Half of us came for Matthew, the other half of us are here for Irma. Good luck everyone. Not today, death.
We need extreme caution? Ok.
*grabs caution sign and writes extreme on top of caution*
There!
My prayers go out to all of you in Louisiana 💞
Sry I'm late but I see y'all talking about hurricane Irma. I'm all the way in Canada and I heard on the news that that hurricane was horrible. My prayers go out to my bff who moved to Florida not too long ago. Hope he's ok

Moving family to Naples FL in 2 weeks.... question for local residents: Where do you go when asked to evacuate? How far North do people travel?
Idk why but when I was younger I watched this videos a lot so came back to watch them aww the memories
GO TO THE LOWEST PLACE?! WHAT IF WATER COMES IN YOU'RE DEAD AND YOU WILL DROWN.
Yeah the water could go under the door gap under
Exactly, i see no point to go "Down" unless its so secure, and no holes or something.
Not true i survived in 2011

I remember in science class we were talking about both lab equipment and hurricane Florence. Two days after the initial news, our catchphrase became: “Beware the Fearful Flying Florence Flask!”

I'm watching this because of hurricane Irma
1- The reporter said to we will need a advance planning, flood insurance, emergency supplies, NoAA-enableed radio, battened-down hatches, safe room and a extreme caution.
2- The reporter suggest to know how to shut off electricity, gas and water.
3- He said to if we live on the first or 2d floor, make plans to take refuge with neighbors between floors 3 and 10 when the storms begins.
4: He told us not to using the phone when the storms starts, stay away from windows and glass doors.
5- The man says to if we lose electricity, keep circuit breakers turned off until power is restored.
This is great information for the people that live in florida
Here comes Harvey...
