Know your home’s vulnerability to storm

surge, flooding and wind.

Know where you will evacuate to. Sharethe name, address and phone number

with your family.

Locate a safe room or safest areas in

your home, usually an interior room on

the lowest floor with no windows or

exterior walls that can provide a second

level of protection from airborne debris.

In a multiple story home, the area

beneath a stairwell is a good safe room.

Closets, bathrooms and utility rooms are

other options.

Store your disaster supplies and

emergency items in the safe room.

Determine escape routes from your

home and places to meet.

Know plans for your pets if you stay

or evacuate (pets are not allowed in

shelters). Ask your veterinarian or

humane society about microchipping

your pets in case they are separated

from you during a disaster. Have photos

of your pets for identification purposes.

know the plan

Have an out-of-state friend as a family

contact so all your family members have

a single point of contact.Post emergency telephone numbers

by your phones and make sure your

children know how and when to call 911.

Plan to safeguard your home. Check or

purchase storm shutters or purchase,

cut and store half-inch or thicker

plywood.

Check your insurance coverage. Flood

damage is not usually covered by

standard homeowner’s insurance and

must be purchased separately.

If a family member requires life

support equipment, make plans forthem. Register with your city or county

office of emergency management for a

special care shelter. Bring supplies and

medication for three days and special

equipment. Ask your medical supply

vendor about any services they provide

in the event of a hurricane and/or power

failure.

Put valuables, photos and copies

of important papers in waterproof

bags and store them in a safe place(i.e. safe deposit box), including

photos of the exterior and interior

or your home, photocopies of

driver’s licenses, list of medications,

important names, addresses,

phone numbers (doctors, lawyers,

insurance agents, family and

friends), account numbers and

policy numbers (health, flood, auto

and home). Also make copies of

treasured family photos and keep

a backup of your computer data to

help prevent total loss.

Stock and periodically evaluate yourmust-have supplies

Use a NOAA weather radio and

change the batteries every six

months.

Update your family plan every year before hurricane season. Everyone should have a role, including children. Keep a checklist of plan

items and check it periodically throughout hurricane season. Here are some things to keep in mind:

ABOUT THE STORM SURGE MAPS

The storm surge maps are based on computer analysis of all potential

hurricane tracks and shows where flooding might occur. The maps

do not take into account heavy rainfall or the effect of wind-driven

waves. Actual flood levels would depend on a storm’s course, strength

and time of arrival in relation to normal tidal cycles. The flood threat is

not limited to coastal areas, especially in Hampton Roads, where the

region is laced with rivers, bays, streams and inlets.
