About

The video describes how to prepare for a safe evacuation during a hurricane. It suggests having an evacuation plan and backup routes in case of roadblocks. You should know nearby shelters, hotels, or friends who can help. Pack a preparedness kit, fill your car with gas, and remember pets and children’s needs. Use apps like FEMA or Red Cross to find shelters. Include masks and sanitizer due to COVID-19. Practice driving the route beforehand using different paths since phones might not work; have a paper map ready too. Stay updated with news for weather warnings and visit ready.gov for more information.
