How to Prepare for Hurricane Irma
All Floridians should plan ahead. Floridians with disabilities who may need
assistance, perhaps with evacuation or while staying in a shelter, should
especially plan ahead. Preparing while things are safe and calm will help you
cope better when disaster or emergency happens. Planning ahead includes
learning about your rights and responsibilities as well as your options for
shelter.
There are a number of basic items you will need at your disposal. That is why
it is critical that every household assemble an emergency kit ahead of time.
Whether to evacuate or stay in your home or at your current location is a
very important decision. Your disaster plan should include options for both
situations - evacuating or staying. Consider your unique circumstances and
the nature of the emergency. Use local officials and news outlets to learn if
the danger is immediate. Use your best judgment - no one knows your needs as
well as you do. If you are specifically ordered to evacuate, do it.
