Hurricane Ida

Monday November 9, 2009

Well this hardly seems fair. At this point in the year everyone usually can take a breath and relax because another long hurricane season has been survived. Apparently that will not be the case this year. Hurricane Ida has decided to pay a late visit to the Gulf Coast of the United States. Fortunately the forecaster predict this hurricane to be a weak one (presently a category 1 and expected to weaken). Still you should remain vigilant and make preparations to evacuate should weather conditions suddenly change.

A FEW BASIC STEPS TO FOLLOW NOW

1. Decide where you will go if you have to leave and fill up the vehicle you will be leaving in.

2. Get some cash.

3. Keep your family members and pets close by and dressed in bright colors.

4. Locate and gather all of your important papers for transport.

5. Locate and gather any possessions you want to evacuate.

6. Pack clothing and medicine.

7. Review your WINE AND CHOCOLATE EVACUATION PLAN
