June 1 marks the beginning of hurricane season. Prepare your home early for what may possibly be an active weather season. The following are a few guidelines to help you through the preparation process.
BEFORE THE STORM• 10 steps to develop a hurricane plan
1. Meet with your family to discuss the dangers of hurricanes and what everyone needs to do to stay safe.
2. Determine if you live in an evacuation zone. If you do, decide where you and your family will go if you need to evacuate.
3. Protect your assets.4. Determine whether your home has vulnerable areas – check roofs, doors,
and windows. Make necessary repairs.5. Plan to protect your vehicles. Decide where you will park or store your cars,
boats and RVs.6. Detail the actions you will take to secure your home.7. Make arrangements for those who have special needs.8. Plan for your pets.9. Gather your supplies. (See the hurricane kit check list below.)10. Inform family and friends about your hurricane plan so they can check on
you after the storm. Determine an out-of-town contact.
• Be sure to stock up on items for your hurricane kit. You need to plan to be self-suffi cient for 3 - 5 days following a storm.Hurricane Kit Checklist� Drinking water: Be sure to have at least one gallon per person per day
for three to fi ve days. Extra water is needed for preparing food, personal hygiene, and your pets.
� Food: Be sure to have enough non-perishable food items for three to fi ve days.
� Special items: Have a three to fi ve-day supply of special items for babies such as formula, food, wipes, diaper cream, and diapers. Don’t forget your elderly family members. Stock up on special foods, toiletries and extra toilet paper.
� Manual can opener/bottle opener� Water may not be available, so be sure to have enough paper plates, bowls,
napkins, towels and plastic eating utensils.� Unscented household bleach and medicine dropper� First aid kit� Flashlight and extra batteries� Hand sanitizer� Two-week supply of medicines and prescription drugs� Battery-operated radio or television� Pet food, cat litter and other pet care items� Charcoal or propane gas for outdoor cooking� Corded phone (Cordless phones will be inoperable in the event of a power
outage.)� Fire extinguisher� Matches� Mosquito repellent

• Trim your trees and shrubs before June 1. All tree trimming and yard cleaning should be complete BEFORE a Hurricane or Tropical Storm Watch is issued.
A watch means tropical storm or hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours, and it is too late to trim your trees at that time.
Once a hurricane watch is issued, the priority of the City’s Department of Public Works will be to secure City-owned properties. All available personnel is deployed to secure these facilities.
SWIMMING POOLS Before the storm, the water level may be lowered slightly, but no more than a foot or two.
The greatest storm damage is done to the pool pump and motor unless some simple precautions are taken. First, turn off the power to the pool equipment (pump, motor, lighting, chlorinators, etc.). Next, remove the motor and store it inside a dry place to prevent it from becoming damaged due to fl ooding.
Extra chlorine should also be added to the pool to prevent contamination. Remove all loose items from the pool area (patio furniture, pool cleaning equipment, fi lter house tops, deck lid of fi lter, etc.) to protect these items as well as screens and windows from damage.
APARTMENT AND CONDO RESIDENTSIf your building is in an evacuation zone and you are asked to evacuate, please go to another location of your choice or to a Red Cross shelter. No one should remain in the building.
5
FOR PET OWNERSA pet friendly emergency shelter is operated by the American Red Cross and the Broward Humane Society. This shelter is available to residents with pets who either live in an evacuation area or a mobile home anywhere in Broward County. Pre-registration is required. Contact the Humane Society of Broward County at 954.989.3977.
Make your plans early in the hurricane season to ensure space is available. Space is on a first come, first serve basis and is limited to those living in a designated emergency evacuation zone. You must provide proof (utility bill) that you live in an evacuation area. Pet owners must stay at the emergency shelter and provide care for their animals (i.e. walking, feeding, cleaning up after).
DURING THE STORMOnce the storm arrives, keep everyone safe by staying indoors. Emergency personnel – police offi cers and fi refi ghters – may not be able to respond to you during the storm.• Depending on the strength of the storm, you may decide to create a “safe room,”
which should be away from windows or doors.• Keep water from coming into your home by placing towels along window sills
and doors. Have buckets, mops and sponges ready in case of fl ooding.• As the eye of the hurricane passes, there is an unusual calm. DO NOT go
outside. The storm is not over, and it may get worse. • Have a battery-powered radio on hand in case you lose power.• Leave the main breaker to your home on unless the electricity goes off. If the
electricity goes off, turn off air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers, television sets and computers to avoid the possibility of damage due to power surges.
• Use fl ashlights for lighting when the power goes off. Do not use candles or any other type of open fl ame.
• Do not operate portable gas-powered generators indoors.• Open the refrigerator and freezer doors as little as possible.• Use telephone lines as little as possible.
Tune in to WQFL 1630 AM Radio for updatesHollywood residents can stay informed throughout the storm by tuning their battery-operated radios to WQFL 1630 AM. During the storm, City offi cials will provide the latest storm updates and emergency information for Hollywood residents and visitors.

AFTER THE STORMSome of the most dangerous situations arise after the hurricane has passed. Here are some important tips to keep in mind.
• Treat all downed power lines as if they are live. If you see a power line that is sparking, call 911.
• Walk cautiously and avoid standing water which may hide downed power lines or hazardous objects. Don’t venture out in the dark because you might not see a power line that could still be energized.
• Debris-fi lled streets are dangerous. Snakes and venomous insects may be a hazard.
• Be aware of spoiled food. When in doubt, throw it out.• Do not drive unless it is an
emergency.• Take precautions to prevent
fi res. Lowered water pressure in City mains and the interruption of other services will make fi refi ghting diffi cult after a hurricane.
• Protect property from further damage. Plastic sheeting, plywood, lumber or other materials can be used to seal or protect property that has been exposed by the storm. Make temporary repairs that won’t endanger your safety.
• Notify insurance representatives of any losses.• Take photographs or video of damaged areas to substantiate your claim.• Prepare a detailed inventory of damaged or destroyed property for the adjustor
by including a description of the item, date of purchase, cost at time of purchase and estimated replacement cost.
• Be patient. Insurance settlements may take some time.
7
GENERATOR SAFETY TIPSGenerators are useful when temporary or remote electric power is needed, but they can be extremely dangerous. Here are some safety tips to follow:
• When installing a permanent generator, be sure to obtain the necessary permits and have a licensed electrician do the installation.
• Use the generator according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
• Never use portable generators inside a home including garages, basements or crawl spaces. Place portable generators outside in a well-ventilated area.
• You cannot see or smell carbon monoxide. If you start to feel sick, dizzy or weak while using a generator, go outside for some fresh air immediately.
• Install battery-operated or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up in your home.
• Do not refuel a generator while it is running.
• Do not store fuel indoors.
• Do not connect a portable generator directly to your house because the power you generate may fl ow back into power lines and caused damage or injure power workers.
TRAFFIC SAFETY TIPSWhen traffi c signals are not working, intersections should be treated as four-way stops. To prevent accidents, please wait your turn. It is not necessary to report downed traffi c signals as Broward County Traffi c Engineering’s damage assessment teams will be aware of outages and will dispatch repair crews as quickly as possible.
