The exact track of Hurricane Lee still remains unclear as it continues to move further north up the Atlantic Ocean.
Are you prepared?
If you don’t have an Emergency Preparedness kit at home, now is the time to make one.
Thanks to our Nova Scotia Website, we have a great starting point.
Here are a few things to include in your Kit:
- A first-aid kit, complete with a week’s supply of essential medication.
- Canned food and manual can opener.
- Battery-powered radio, flashlight, extra batteries.
- Cash (ATM machines may be down).
- Drinkable water (three litres per person per day).
Also don’t forget to Prepare your home and property:
- Pull boats out of water to high ground.
- Park vehicles in a garage or away from trees.
- Fill vehicle’s gas tank.
- Secure all gates, doors and windows.
- Move lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants or anything that can be picked up by wind.
- Trim dead or diseased branches from trees to help make them more wind resistant, or remove dead trees entirely. Safety should always be your first priority when trimming trees. Ensure that you are not working near a power line.
- Make sure your home is protected as much as possible from heavy rain and flooding.
- Keep pets indoors.
We’ll keep you updated on Lee and any other storms that may head our way this Hurricane Season on 1015 The Hawk!
