    aBoUT THe sTorM sUrGe MaPs

    The storm surge maps are based on computer analysis of all potential hurricane tracks and shows where flooding might occur. The maps do not take into account heavy rainfall or the effect of wind-driven waves. Actual flood levels would depend on a storms course, strength and time of arrival in relation to normal tidal cycles. The flood threat is not limited to coastal areas, especially in Hampton Roads, where the region is laced with rivers, bays, streams and inlets.

    POWER OUTAGE SAFETYUse a flashlight or battery-operated lantern for emergency lighting, not candles.

    Turn off electrical equipment you were using when the power went out.

    Avoid opening the refrigerator and freezer.

    If you use a computer, keep files and operating systems backed up regularly, either on recordable CDs, DVDs, an external hard drive, or a remote backup service. If you must evacuate, take the backup files with you. Consider buying extra batteries and a power converter if you use a laptop computer.

    Get a high-quality surge protector for all of your computer and home theater equipment.

    If you have an electric garage door opener, find out where the manual release lever is located.

    Have a standard corded telephone or cell phone that doesnt require electricity.

    tips for keeping you safe through the storm

    GENERATOR SAFETYBuy a generator listed with the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) or Factory Mutual (FM).

    If you use a generator, connect the equipment you want to power directly to the outlets on the generator. Do not connect a generator to a homes electrical system.

    Follow generator directions. Do not use indoors, including inside a garage, due to dangerous carbon monoxide buildup. Have adequate ventilation and follow proper refueling practices.

    Be sure to let the generator cool down before refueling.

    WATER SAFETYTo treat water, first filter the water using a piece of cloth or coffee filter to remove solid particles.

    Bring it to a rolling boil for one full minute and cool 30 minutes or;

    Add 12 drops of 2 percent tincture of iodine per gallon or;

    Add 16 drops of unscented liquid chlorine bleach per one gallon of water. Let stand 30 minutes or;

    Use water purification tablets.

    AFTER THE FLOODIf fresh food has come into contact with floodwaters, throw it out.

    Boil drinking water before using. Wells should be pumped out and the water tested for purity before drinking. Call your public health authority for more information.

    Seek necessary medical care at the nearest hospital. Food, clothing, shelter and first aid are available from the American Red Cross and other relief organizations.

    Do not visit disaster areas. Your presence might hamper rescue and other emergency operations.

    Electrical equipment should be checked and dried before being returned to service.

    Use flashlights (not lanterns, torches or matches) to examine buildings. Flammables may be inside.

    Report broken utility lines to appropriate authorities.

    FLOOD SAFETYAvoid or leave areas subject to sudden flooding. These include dips and low-lying spots.

    Avoid already flooded and high-velocity flow areas. Do not attempt to cross flowing streams.

    Never drive through flooded roadways as the depth of the water is not always obvious. Turn around and go another way. If the vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground. Rapidly rising water may engulf the vehicle and its occupants, sweeping them away.

    Use caution at night when it is more difficult to recognize flood dangers.

    Do not camp or park your vehicle along streams, particularly during threatening conditions.

    Children should never play with high water, storm drains or viaducts.

    watch vs. warninga hurricane watch is issued by the National Hurricane Center to advise a specific area that hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours. If a watch is issued for your area, you should monitor storm reports on radio and television and implement your familys preparedness plan. If you live in a vulnerable area, consider leaving early to avoid traffic tie-ups.

    a hurricane warning is issued by the Hurricane Center when sustained winds of 74 mph or higher are expected within 36 hours in a specified area. Precautions to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.

    Know your homes vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind.

    Know where you will evacuate to. Share the name, address and phone number with your family.

    Locate a safe room or safest areas in your home, usually an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows or exterior walls that can provide a second level of protection from airborne debris. In a multiple story home, the area beneath a stairwell is a good safe room. Closets, bathrooms and utility rooms are other options.

    Store your disaster supplies and emergency items in the safe room.

    Determine escape routes from your home and places to meet.

    Know plans for your pets if you stay or evacuate (pets are not allowed in shelters). Ask your veterinarian or humane society about microchipping your pets in case they are separated from you during a disaster. Have photos of your pets for identification purposes.

    know the plan

    Have an out-of-state friend as a family contact so all your family members have a single point of contact.

    Post emergency telephone numbers by your phones and make sure your children know how and when to call 911.

    Plan to safeguard your home. Check or purchase storm shutters or purchase, cut and store half-inch or thicker plywood.

    Check your insurance coverage. Flood damage is not usually covered by standard homeowners insurance and must be purchased separately.

    If a family member requires life support equipment, make plans for them. Register with your city or county office of emergency management for a special care shelter. Bring supplies and medication for three days and special equipment. Ask your medical supply vendor about any services they provide in the event of a hurricane and/or power failure.

    Put valuables, photos and copies of important papers in waterproof bags and store them in a safe place (i.e. safe deposit box), including photos of the exterior and interior or your home, photocopies of drivers licenses, list of medications, important names, addresses, phone numbers (doctors, lawyers, insurance agents, family and friends), account numbers and policy numbers (health, flood, auto and home). Also make copies of treasured family photos and keep a backup of your computer data to help prevent total loss.

    Stock and periodically evaluate your must-have supplies

    Use a NOAA weather radio and change the batteries every six months.

    Update your family plan every year before hurricane season. Everyone should have a role, including children. Keep a checklist of plan items and check it periodically throughout hurricane season. Here are some things to keep in mind:

    Make sure favorite stuffed toys, pillows or blankets are in your survival kit. Hurricanes are scary and its important to help kids feel secure.

    Be sure to stock up and pack sanitary supplies for little ones, including diapers, pull-ups, wipes, toilet paper and tissues.

    Make sure you have kids medications along with a few basic first-aid supplies including band-aids and pain relievers.

    Have each child pack a special waterproof box of mementos and treasures. Include photos of family, pets or special friends.

    Going without lights or TV can be stressful for kids. Make an art kit and include crayons, pencils, markers, scissors, glue and lots of paper to help them pass the time.

    Cards, jacks, dominoes, and board games such as checkers are a great way keep their mind off the hurricane and play together.

    Smartphones and tablets will run out of power quickly if a child is playing games on them to pass the time. Limit their time on those devices so they can be used in case of an emergency.

    Most disaster relief food supplies like peanut butter are kid friendly, but you might also want to include their favorite non-perishable snacks and juice boxes along with your own food and water.

    Pack a few extra flashlights and batteries. When the lights are out kids can shine the flashlight on the wall and make funny shadows or play I Spy in the dark by shining a flashlight on a particular item in the room.

    There are several kid-friendly websites you and your family can visit to help your children understand hurricanes. Knowing what causes hurricanes and why we should prepare for them may help ease their anxiety and encourage them to help with your familys disaster planning.

    n www.nws.noaa.gov/om/reachout/hurricane.shtml

    n spaceplace.nasa.gov/hurricanes/en/

    n www.weatherwizkids.com/weather-hurricane.htm

    kids and hurricanesPreparing for a hurricane or other natural disasters can be stressful, but factor in keeping kids occupied, and the challenge is even greater. Here are a few tips.
