Hurricane Preparedness Week urges residents to get moving when storm threatens
Hurricane Preparedness Week’s Day 4 message urges residents to leave early or take protective actions when a hurricane threatens, stressing that time matters to reduce risk to life and property.
A Facebook reel promoting the campaign states, “Get Moving When a Storm Threatens.” The brief post advises that leaving early or taking protective steps can keep you and your family out of harm’s way.
Hurricane Preparedness Week is an annual awareness campaign that encourages planning, readiness and timely responses to tropical storms and hurricanes. Preparedness messaging typically recommends that households identify evacuation routes, assemble emergency kits, keep vehicles fueled and follow guidance from local emergency managers and the National Weather Service.
The Day 4 reminder underscores the importance of prompt action: delayed departures can lead to traffic congestion, curtailed options and greater exposure to dangerous conditions. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
