The National Weather Service said its hurricane safety campaign, National Hurricane Preparedness Week, will be from May 4 to May 10 this year.
The goal of the campaign is to encourage people to prepare for the upcoming hurricane season as soon as possible. NWS said to remember: you should prepare EACH and EVERY YEAR, as it only takes ONE storm!
Each day this week will be dedicated to a different topic of preparedness. The days and their topics are as follows:
- May 4: Know Your Risk: Water & Wind
- May 5: Prepare Before Hurricane Season/Know Your Zone/Storm Surge
- May 6: Understand Forecast Information/High Winds
- May 7: Get Moving When a Storm Threatens/Inland Flooding
- May 8: Stay Protected During Storms/Tornadoes
