Hurricane Matthew

PSA for those on the Coast: BE SAFE, and BE SMART! 

This one is going to be a gnarly one.  It’s not expected to make landfall, but ride the coast all the way up. This means it probably won’t reduce in strength like most storms do.  Mother Nature is a terrifying force and sometimes we cannot stand against her. 

If you are in Evacuation Zones please heed warnings and the advice of Emergency Responders. If demanded to evacuate, please comply.  Things can be replaced, you can’t.

The National Guard has been mobilized, but not evacuating when you should puts their lives at risk as well as yours. 

To those outside the danger zones, but still in the path- Hunker down.  Make sure you have: 

Dry Food

Candles

Flashlights

Batteries

window/door seals

pull in all outside decor/furniture not cemented down (they’ll become projectiles). 

Your Bathtub filled with water in case they shut off the city water

FIrst Aid supplies, benedryl, epipen, bandages, antiseptic, etc

Duct Tape (You never know what this stuff is good for)

emergency radio

An emergency plan should you get separated from family (keep in mind cell towers may be out)
