5 critical warnings for hurricane season
Michael Brennan, Director of the US National Hurricane Center, is ready for hurricane season risks, emergency kits, communication plans, and power outages...
As the Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, Michael Brennan, Director of the National Hurricane Center, shared five critical messages for preparation for the upcoming period. Brennan emphasized that the hurricane risk exists every year and seasonal forecasts do not change this fact. According to Brennan, the first step is to clearly know the risk in the area where one lives. Especially those living in storm surge and evacuation zones need to plan according to the possibility that they may need to leave their homes. It is also noted that the risk of flash floods should not be ignored for those living inland. The second topic is the emergency kit. It is requested to have long-lasting food, water, medicine, and batteries prepared in advance. Brennan said that excessive dependence on cell phones is often underestimated, so alternatives to charge devices should also be considered. The third message is based on a family communication plan. It should be determined in advance how family members will communicate when phones do not work, where they will meet, and how people with special needs will be protected. Brennan stated that this plan can make a big difference during a crisis. Fourth, preparations must be made for prolonged power outages and dangerous conditions after the storm. The official conveyed that access to health services and first aid may be limited in evacuated areas, and especially heat, debris, and generator-related risks require attention. Brennan's final message was to rely on reliable information sources. Noting that there is a lot of biased and confusing information circulating on social media, Brennan recommended following local emergency authorities, local meteorological offices, and official hurricane information channels.
