Hurricane Kit


Stay tuned to the news on the local stations. Should they go off the air tune into the Government Emergency Broadcast Station on FM 100.1 mHz.
Follow instructions if ordered to evacuate
Stay inside
Stay away from windows and doors.
DON'T use telephone or electrical appliances.
Remember to open one window a couple of inches on the leeward side of the building away from the approaching storm. If the 'eye' passes directly over the island remember to switch windows as the winds will return from the opposite direction.
If storm becomes intense, retreat to designated interior hurricane safe room.
If you fear your house will come down around you, get into a bathtub and place a mattress over you.
If the power goes out leave a light switched on, so you will know when power is restored.

If time permits, secure your home
Unplug appliances
Turn off electricity and the main water valve
Turn off external gas cylinders/gas main
Elevate furniture to protect it from flooding or move it to a higher floor
