Emergency & Disaster Preparedness
Hurricane Ready Center
South Florida residents should prepare before hurricane threats develop. This fictional guide organizes common preparedness topics into simple, readable steps. Always follow current instructions from official emergency management authorities for a real emergency.
Make a household plan
Decide where your household will go, how everyone will communicate, what transportation is available, and where important documents will be kept.
Prepare your home
Secure outdoor objects, protect windows when appropriate, clear drainage areas safely, and review your home's storm-preparation needs.
Stay informed
Monitor official weather and emergency-management information. Do not rely only on social-media posts or forwarded messages.
Important:
Know whether your location is in an evacuation zone and understand
your local evacuation instructions before a storm threatens.
7-Day Preparation Timeline
7+ Days
Review your plan, check supplies, inspect important equipment,
and identify possible evacuation destinations.
5–6 Days
Refill important supplies, confirm communication plans,
review official forecasts, and make arrangements for pets.
3–4 Days
Secure outdoor furniture and objects, review transportation plans,
and continue monitoring official information.
1–2 Days
Complete final preparations. Charge devices, protect important
documents, and follow official instructions.
Storm
Stay in a safe location and follow official emergency instructions.
Stay inside when instructed
During dangerous conditions, remain in a safe interior area away from windows and follow official instructions.
Do not drive through flooding
Floodwater can hide dangerous conditions and moving water can make roads unsafe. Follow official road and evacuation information.
Monitor official information
Keep a charged phone, battery-powered information source, or other reliable method for receiving emergency updates.
During the storm checklist
Wait for official information
Do not assume that conditions are safe just because the wind has decreased. Follow official instructions before traveling.
Watch for hazards
Be aware of downed power lines, damaged buildings, flooded roads, debris, unstable trees, and other hazards.
Document damage
When it is safe, document property damage for your records and follow instructions from your insurance provider or relevant agencies.
Post-storm safety
- Stay away from downed electrical lines.
- Avoid flooded roads and standing water when possible.
- Do not use damaged electrical equipment.
- Use generators only according to manufacturer safety instructions and never indoors.
- Be careful of storm cleanup scams and requests for immediate payment.
- Check on neighbors only when doing so is safe.
- Continue following official recovery information.
Emergency Kit Checklist
A basic emergency kit should be customized to the people, pets, medical needs, and circumstances of your household.
0 of 15 items checked
Pets
Include pets in your evacuation plan. Prepare food, water, medications, carriers, identification, vaccination records, and other supplies they may need.
Accessibility
Plan transportation, communication, power needs, medications, mobility equipment, caregivers, and other individual requirements before an emergency.
Children
Prepare age-appropriate food, medication, comfort items, identification information, and activities to reduce stress.
Medical needs
Plan for prescriptions, medical equipment, refrigeration needs, caregivers, transportation, and backup power where applicable.
Power outages
Charge essential devices before the storm and consider how important equipment will operate if electrical service is interrupted.
Generator safety
Never operate a portable generator indoors, in a garage, or in another enclosed area. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and official safety guidance.
