The HURRICANE GUIDE takes you through the preparations you'll need to perform inside and outside your home... before, during and after a hurricane. Using the Severe Weather Timeline, you will be instructed what to do well before Hurricane Season begins, at the beginning of Hurricane Season, when a Hurricane Watch is announced, when a Hurricane Warning is issued, and afterwards. | |

| Author, Sandra Fontana is a veteran of seven hurricanes (David 1979), Dennis, Floyd and Irene (1999), Frances and Jeanne (2004), and Wilma (2005). Experience has been a vital lesson in preparedness and organization, both of which she has incorporated into the HURRICANE GUIDE. "Having endured this many hurricanes, I've learned a few things about coping with the nearly annual natural disaster of tropical storms and hurricanes," Fontana says. "With each hurricane, you learn how to become better prepared."
Tip:
Always keep a hammer in your car. If your car becomes submerged, you'll be able to break a window and escape to safety. | | |
