Emergency Ready

Introduction

Here in Hawaii, storm season has arrived. It is crucial to plan ahead and be prepared to ensure safety during storms. Waiting until the storm hits is not advisable; taking proactive steps now can make a significant difference. By creating a plan before, during, and after storms, you can mitigate risks and ensure the well-being of yourself and your loved ones.

Before the storms, it is essential to prepare an emergency supply kit for your home with necessary items such as food, water, medicine, and other essentials. Additionally, creating a family emergency plan is important so that everyone in the household knows what steps to take and where to meet in case of separation. As storms may lead to power outages that can range from a few moments to several days, staying informed and updated on the latest storm and outage information is crucial. It is advised to follow official channels, such as Twitter, for such updates and to stay away from downed power lines that may pose a danger. Reporting any downed power lines promptly is vital for safety.

Downloadable resources like the handbook for emergency preparedness can provide additional tips on staying safe during storm season in Hawaii. By being prepared and taking proactive measures, individuals can weather the storms safely and protect themselves and their families.
