Emergency Preparedness

When a hurricane watch or warning has been issued, stay near your television to get updates on KPLC TV7 (Channel 7 on Cable TV) or listen to radio stations KVVP FM 105.7 for local information and instructions. The media will be informed of all pertinent information, including shelters that may be open, any evacuation orders, and/or school closings.

After a hurricane passes, listen to media before returning to the area, and upon returning to your home, check for damage before turning utilities back on. Be sure to have necessary repairs made before restoring utilities.
