If a hurricane hit where you live, would your family be ready?
Whatever tomorrow brings, there are several steps you should consider
to help you and your loved ones survive and recover from a hurricane,
especially if you live in a coastal area. Know what your community's
disaster plan is, for instance. Your local emergency management
office, American Red Cross chapter or utility company may have a
Disaster Handbook with contact information and evacuation routes
for your community.
Below is a comprehensive guide with valuable information provided
by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and a 2007 Hurricane
Handbook published by Florida's Kissimmee Utility Authority. We
hope you'll review these links to make sure you know how to best
prepare for a hurricane, what precautions and steps to take after
the storm, and how to file a claim with ANPAC if you have damages
to your property.

Handbook is available to download at http://www.kua.com/hurricane.
