June 1st, 2008 is the official start of the 2008 Hurricane Season for cities throughout the U.S. including Cape Coral FL. The question you need to start asking yourself is "Are you prepared?"
In Cape Coral this preparation should start with registering for the City of Cape Coral's CODE RED notification program. The reverse 911 system will notify you via phone (any number you choose) in case of any type of emergency or public service notification such as a boil water notice, etc...
Register for CODE RED notification from the City of Cape Coral.
Your next step is to stop by your local Publix and purchase a NOAA 7 Channel Weather Radio. The one that I own is the WR-100 made by Midland Radio. When severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms, tornados, hurricanes, wildfires, floods, etc... the National Weather Service issues warnings that can come across your TV, Radio, and immediately via your NOAA Weather Radio. Consider it like a smoke detector for bad weather. You can also purchase weather radio this online at Radio Shack. The price varies from approximately $29.99 at Publix to $49.95 from Midland. Don't forget to program the radio for your specific county. Read my NOAA Weather Radio Blog for more information.
Make sure you are prepared and GET A PLAN !!! - Head to FloridaDisaster.org this site operated by the Florida Division of Emergency Management will help you create your own personalized Family Disaster Plan. This only takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Once you complete this you can visit these next pages to further prepare. Publix has an Emergency Supplies Checklist and Non-Perishable Food Checklist to survive for two weeks after a storm.
Your final step is to complete an inventory of the items in your home. State Farm Insurance provides a Home Inventory Checklist for you to fill out that will itemize all of your possessions. Also don't forget to take a few moments in addition to the checklist and do a walk through video of your home for your records and the insurance company should there ever be any questions.
