BASIC TROPICAL STORM SAFETY ACTIONS
Know if you live in an evacuation area.
Know your home's vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind.
Have a written plan based on this knowledge.
At the beginning of Tropical Storm season (June 1st), check your supplies, replace batteries and use food stocks on a rotating basis.
During Tropical Storm season, monitor the tropics. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio. If a storm threatens, heed the advice from local authorities.
Evacuate if ordered. Execute your family plan.
WATCH vs. WARNING KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH issued for your part of the coast indicates the possibility that you could experience Tropical Storm conditions within 36 hours. This watch should trigger your family's disaster plan, and protective measures should be initiated, especially those actions that require extra time such as securing a boat, leaving a barrier island, etc.
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING issued for your part of the coast indicates that sustained winds of at least 74 mph are expected within 24 hours or less. Once this warning has been issued, your family should be in the process of completing protective actions and deciding the safest location to be during the storm.
