September is National Preparedness Month, a month dedicated to encouraging Americans to prepare for emergencies. The month is a great time to take small steps to make a big difference in being prepared for all types of potential disasters — but most top-of-mind here in Florida: Hurricanes.
For hurricane season, the key to staying safe is preparing in advance. Every year, supermarkets are swarmed with customers stocking up on water, toilet paper and other essentials at the last minute.
What if we planned ahead and purchased these items throughout the year? This way, we could avoid the last-minute scramble and be better prepared for any emergency.
Men kèk konsèy pou ede w prepare pou katastwòf:
Gen yon plan evakyasyon
Si vil ou a bay lòd pou yo evakye moun, èske ou konnen ki kote w prale? Asire w ou gen yon plan pou kote ou ka rete, kit se avèk fanmi, zanmi oswa nan yon abri ki an sekirite. Konsidere planifye wout evakyasyon ou kounye a, anvan menas yon tanpèt.
Fon ijans
Si ou bezwen rete nan yon otèl, èske ou gen lajan ki rezève pou sa? Yon fon ijans esansyèl pou kouvri depans enprevi, kit se pou lojman, transpò oswa manje. Kòmanse ekonomize yon ti kantite lajan chak mwa pou konstwi yon kousen pou ijans.

Ranpli gadmanje ou pandan tout ane a
Olye pou w tann jiskaske yon tanpèt rive, kenbe gadmanje w plen pandan tout ane a ak bagay ki pa gate fasil tankou manje nan bwat, dlo ak lòt bagay esansyèl. Nan fason sa a, w ap toujou prepare epi w pa pral bezwen prese pou jwenn founiti lè yon dezas frape.
Achte twalèt an gwo kantite
Konsidere achte atik tankou papye twalèt ak sèvyèt papye an gwo kantite regilyèman si sa posib. Kenbe atik sa yo an stok pandan tout ane a ap diminye strès pou eseye jwenn magazen ki gen envantè disponib lè yon tanpèt ap apwoche.
Lè w pran ti etap pou w prepare pandan tout ane a, ou ka pare pou sezon siklòn nan epi diminye enkyetid ki vini ak preparasyon dènye minit yo.
