Hi All,The Family Handyman is a fairly well-known handyman/helper/do-it-yourself magazine. They also have a very useful website from which this blog entry came from. The article in Family Handyman of interest is called 'Storm Survival Guide' and discusses how to protect your family when a major storm is imminent or upon you!
Read on for more information - basically the article talks about glow in the dark flashlights, flooded basements, gushing floodwater (stay out of it!), turning off the gas in case of a flood and other tricks to staying safe during major storms.
In keeping with the above article from the Family Handyman AND since we are - as of this writing - technically in the middle of hurricane season - we'll discuss the Nassau County Hurricane Preparedness Guide that is published by Nassau County.
Click on this link for a printable version of the online guide.
The guide discusses the various categories of hurricane - and the type of destruction associated with each category. A list of items to create an emergency Go-Kit is included in the printable guide as well. Click on this link for a list of hurricane shelters.
This link has a list of evacuation zones and routes.
Finally, this link enables users to receive County News and Emergency Information!
Hopefully you won't need this information, but if you do...its very accessible!
Regards,
Stu
