Hurricane Season Preparedness

 June 3, 2014

Hurricane Preparedness

June 1st to November 30th Is Hurricane Season and here is some information to help you prepare in the event of a severe weather event.

Robertsville Volunteer Fire Company's top priority is to assure the safety of everyone during potentially dangerous weather, and encourages residents to make preparations for their homes and families.

Being prepared for any emergency requires planning. If you are able to stay at home, electricity, water, heat, air conditioning, telephone service and transportation could be disrupted or lost for some time. Emergency management planners suggest having food, water, medications and other essentials on hand to last your family for three to five days. Learn more about how to prepare your Emergency Kit ,develop an emergency plan and stay informed at http://www.state.nj.us/njoem/plan/kit-plan.html , during a hurricane emergency.
