The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to October 31. If a storm threatens, will you and your family be ready? If you start preparing today, you can be.
Preparing for the upcoming hurricane season isn't a game, but this preparation tip can be as simple as saying, "Tag, you're it!" Decide NOW to make someone out-of-state a family contact and make sure each family member knows the name, city and phone number of that person.
As I watched the coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, I was heartbroken by the number of family members that became separated and couldn't find each other. As a parent, I couldn't imagine finding myself in the horrifying position of not knowing where my children were... or even if they were safe. That doesn't have to happen to your family if you pick up the phone today and make this tip part of your plan.
