It only takes one storm to change your life and community. Tropical cyclones are among nature’s most powerful and destructive phenomena.

Even areas well away from the coastline can be threatened by dangerous flooding, destructive winds and tornadoes from these storms.
Hurricane Preparedness Week (May 7 to 13, 2017) is your time to prepare for a potential land-falling tropical storm or hurricane. Learn how with the daily tips below and related links. Share these with your friends and family to ensure that they're prepared.
Throughout the week you should determine your risk, develop an evacuation plan, assemble disaster supplies, secure an insurance check-up, strengthen your home, check on your neighbors, and complete your written hurricane plan.
