This year’s Atlantic hurricane season is underway. The American Red Cross of Georgia urges everyone to prepare before an emergency occurs. Adelaide Kirk, regional disaster officer, said, “Being prepared is your best defense if an emergency occurs. Pack your go-kit. Get your supplies. Protect your household by being ready for whatever may happen.”
Steps to Prepare
Follow these steps to get ready: Make a plan to help keep everyone safe, including a plan to evacuate and a plan to shelter safely at home. Prepare a go-kit and a stay-at-home kit filled with critical supplies like food, water, and medicine. Download the free Red Cross apps, which include National Weather Service alerts and help in locating Red Cross shelters. Get your home ready by securing items outside, trimming trees, and protecting windows.
