ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A HURRICANE?
-- Ice-Qube Emergency Preparedness Kits offer easy ways to get ready for hurricane season--
NEW YORK - In an average three-year period, roughly five hurricanes strike the US coastline, killing approximately 50 to 100 people anywhere from Texas to Maine. History teaches that a lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. By knowing your vulnerability and what actions you should take, you can reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster. Hurricane season began on June 1 before an emergency happens.
“When a natural disaster, such as a hurricane, hits close to home, having a plan and the right supplies will make a significant difference,” said Leslie Fastenberg, President of Ice-Qube. “Scientists can now predict hurricanes; everyone should have a plan for evacuating their area and an emergency kit in their car ready for any situation. Don’t wait till it is too late.”
The Department of Homeland Security urges citizens to make a plan, have an emergency kit and to be informed.
