Hurricane Preparedness Tips

When you know the direction you are headed in, go online and search for the official evacuation route maps.... just in case you need to take an alternate route at some point... (the road gets blocked ,etc) - official routes have been known to become impassable... as has happened near Lafayette for a heavy rain day a few years ago.

be sure to have either copies of medical prescripions for chain pharmacies where you may be or extra refills if your insurance will allow it. (Some refuse to refill until its a couple days before the current script runs out.)


Make arrangements to have a contact person.... out of the danger area.... whose number you can give to others to contact and/or relay messages to one another. Don't count on cell phones to always be operapble.
