Hurricane Season Snapchat Story
Hi, thanks for watching this video. It’s from our Snapchat account so it doesn’t have sound like a traditional video. In this snap story, we’re using service member rubber duckies to inform the public about disaster preparedness.
We’re in the middle of a very active Hurricane season.
And weather like this can be very unpredictable so it’s important to be prepared.
Here are some safety and preparedness tips for hurricane season.
Monitor local radio or TV for updates, and follow expert advice.
Here’s a map from the National Weather Service which shows how quickly and unexpectedly hurricane tracks can change.
2-If you live in an area prone to flooding, you should:
Learn your evacuation routes
Have a communications plan. How will you get in touch with one another
Keep a battery powered radio
And a have a plan that ensures your pets are safe
3-Do not drive through a flooded area. As little as six inches of water may cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Turn around, don’t drown.
Talk to your loved ones. Stay informed and make sure everyone knows what to do in case of an emergency.
