Hurricane Preparedness – COVID-19 may potentially impact hurricane planning and preparedness. Always refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Federal Emergency Management Agency for the most up-to-date guidance on COVID-19 and hurricane preparedness. For example, individuals should add face coverings and hand sanitizer to emergency supply kits to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, the public should re-evaluate their household evacuation and sheltering plans, ensuring the practice of social distancing and other safety measures when enacting plans. The most important thing is safety and following local officials’ guidance on evacuation – it saves lives. (Source –https://www.epa.gov/natural-disasters/hurricanes
