Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 7-13, 2017.

Hurricane season in New Jersey is June 1st through November 30^th and since it can only take one storm to change your life, it pays to be prepared. Planning ahead for a major disaster may help to minimize damage to yourself, loved ones, pets, home and belongings.

The goal of Hurricane Preparedness Week is to inform people about hurricane hazards and provide knowledge that can be used if one occurs. If you haven’t done so in the past, there is no better time than hurricane preparedness week to begin.

Every day during Hurricane Preparedness Week will focus on a specific topic:

• Sunday May 7^th Determine Your Risk


• Monday May 8^th Develop an Evacuation Plan


• Tuesday May 9^th Assemble Disaster Supplies


• Wednesday May 10^th Secure an Insurance Checkup


• Thursday May 11^th Strengthen Your Home


• Friday May 12^th Check on Your Neighbors


• Saturday May 13^th Complete Your Written Hurricane Plan

Please visit The National Weather Service for more information on these specific topics .

The American Red Cross offers a Hurricane Safety Checklist and FEMA offers a guide on How to Prepare for a Hurricane.
