ALT Hurricane Preparedness - Take Action Today. Determine your risk from water and wind. Begin preparing now, before a storm. Learn how to understand hurricane forecasts and alerts. Learn what to do before, during, and after a storm.
ALT Hurricane Preparedness - Use Caution After Storms. If you evacuated, only return home when directed that it's safe to do so. Remain vigilant, as hazards remain: heat, downed power lines, floodwaters, and more. Clean up safely: don't push yourself, and check on neighbors. Only use generators outdoors, 20 feet from your home. Prepare for the likelihood that help and communications may not be available.
ALT Much of the Southeast received several inches of rain over the past 24 hours. While it's not enough rain to end the drought, it will help keep conditions from worsening in many locations. Image shows the precipitation estimates from 5 pm eastern time Wednesday May 6th to 5 pm Thursday May 7th. This image is next to the U.S. drought monitor over the Southeast RFC area.
ALT Hurricane Preparedness - Stay Protected During Storms. Stay in your safe places from water and wind. Have a way to get weather alerts and forecast updates. Keep in mind that impacts can be felt far from the coast. Listen to local officials and avoid travel unless ordered to evacuate.
ALT Hurricane Preparedness - Get Moving When a Storm Threatens. Protect your home: cover windows, secure doors and loose items. Determine sheltering options and consider your pets. Ready your go-bag, meds and supplies, charge phone, fill up/charge vehicle. Help your neighbors, especially the elderly & other vulnerable people. Follow evacuation orders if given.
ALT Hurricane Preparedness - Understand Forecast Information. Rely on forecasts from the National Hurricane Center and your local NWS office. Know your alerts & the difference between a Watch and Warning. Focus on potential impacts, regardless of storm size or category. Know that deadly hazards occur well outside of the Forecast Cone.
