Before hurricane season starts, look around your home's landscape to identify weak tree branches that may need to be removed. These branches can fall on your home or become dangerous debris during severe weather!

In addition to preparing your home, making sure your family is aware of your hurricane emergency plan is an important part of staying safe in severe weather. Gathering supplies, deciding emergency contacts and reviewing your evacuation plan are a few ways to prepare!

This national preparedness month, be sure that your family has ways to hear the news and stay informed in the event you lose power. A hand crank or solar powered radio is a great way to stay updated during a power outage!
