Hurricane Season begins on June 1 and ends on November 30. The past several years have been pretty quiet in our area and we are hoping for yet another uneventful year. This week marks National Hurricane Preparedness Week.
The most information we can provide is to be sure that you are prepared in the event of a hurricane. Did you know that Florida Disaster.org offers a FREE emergency family or business plan in the event of a hurricane? It only takes a couple of minutes to fill out. The plan will outline the following information:
Your family meeting location and out of town contact information
List of evacuation routes
A plan for family members with or without a disability
A kid and pet items supply checklist
A supply checklist for food, water, ice and first aid kit items
Your local emergency contact information
Checklist of things to do before and after a disaster
In the event of an upcoming hurricane, follow your outlined plan.
The site will also give you helpful information on how to strenghten your home.
You may also find it helpful to check the City of Melbourne website. They provide links to local, state and federal agencies.
Florida Today Newspaper has a weather page , where you can check the Florida map to see what the weather forecast is. It also has a 7 day forecast.
The National Weather Service also has a Melbourne Florida page that will give you their current weather forecast.
If you are still looking for additional storm information check with Brevard County Office of Emergency Management.
Preparing ahead in the event of a hurricane saves lives and property.
