Have a Plan for Hurricane Season
Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1. Based on FEMA’s 2016 National Household Survey, more than half of families living where hurricanes occur have a plan to stay in contact. Make sure you create a family emergency communication plan before the next storm.

Knowing where loved ones are and how to get in touch in the event of an emergency will give you peace of mind. Visit Ready.gov/Hurricanes for tips, tools, and resources to help you prepare.

Planning starts with these three steps:
Collect – Create a paper copy of the contact information for your family. Collect the contact information of other important people and places, such as doctors, insurance companies, or schools.
Share – Make sure everyone carries a copy. If you complete your plan online at ready.gov/make-a-plan, you can print it as a wallet-sized card. Also, post a copy in a central location in your home, such as your refrigerator or family bulletin board.
Practice – Bring your family together to review and practice your plan every few months.
