'Hurricane experts have predicted the 2009 Hurricane Season as an active one. The office of Miami-Dade County Commissioner Sally A. Heyman wants to help you get ready for the season that lasts through November 30th. We are now into the second month of Hurricane Season and two “named” storms have been charted. As we continue to move through our summer months and plans, make sure hurricane preparation is part of it.
Create a Hurricane Kit for your family. Your kit should include a 3 – 7 day supply of:
Bottled Water (1 gallon per person per day)**
Flashlight (1 per person)
Manual can opener*
Non-perishable foods
Battery operated radio*
Instant tea or coffee
*it is not necessary to have more than one
**REMINDER: you can start saving clean and dry empty liter and gallon containers in case we have a hurricane. You will then be able to fill with water without having to purchase additional bottles.
Each week look for more information to help you create a personal hurricane plan. Should you have questions regarding these tips or any other issue in District 4 please call our district office at 305-787-5999 or email us at District4@miamidade.gov.
