As we have seen in the past decade entire <a href=\"http:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/hurricane-katrina\" target=\"_blank\">cities can be flooded<\/a> with people stuck at the center because they were not given enough of a warning to take actions, leave their homes, or stock up on supplies.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/History_of_Atlantic_hurricane_warnings\" target=\"_blank\">first hurricane warning<\/a> service was established in Cuba during the 1870s and used a series of observation sites to track clouds. Flags were raised to warn the public that a storm was imminent. The United States took over this system in the early 1900s and by 1955 the National Hurricane Center officially opened its doors in Miami, Florida. Over time our ability to track and predict storms improved with the use of <em>Hurricane Hunters<\/em>, planes that flew over storms, and later through satellites imagery to help issue more accurate public warnings.<\/p>\n<p>Today, once a storm is identified, the National Hurricane Center <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/verification\/\" target=\"_blank\">issues predictions<\/a> every 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. Unfortunately our ability to accurately predict a storms path and intensity drops significantly after 12 hours. Next time you turn on the news when they are reporting on a hurricane you might see a series of lines scattering out all across the east coast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/150930205048-hurricane-joaquin-possible-paths-exlarge-169.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19191\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/150930205048-hurricane-joaquin-possible-paths-exlarge-169.jpg\" alt=\"Hurricane predictions are not accurate.\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/150930205048-hurricane-joaquin-possible-paths-exlarge-169.jpg 780w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/150930205048-hurricane-joaquin-possible-paths-exlarge-169-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/150930205048-hurricane-joaquin-possible-paths-exlarge-169-768x431.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting Ready for a Hurricane<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once a hurricane hits a life-threatening situation begins to unfold as flooding, storm surge, high winds and tornadoes tear across the landscape. Taking actions and being prepared for the worst could possibly save your own life and those of everyone around you.<\/p>\n<p>The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration outlines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nws.noaa.gov\/com\/weatherreadynation\/hurricane_preparedness.html\" target=\"_blank\">7 basic steps<\/a> to take when preparing for Hurricane Season.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Determine your risk &#8211; What type of wind and water hazards could happen in the area you live?<\/li>\n<li>Develop an evacuation plan &#8211; Where is higher ground and is there a safe path not at risk of flooding?<\/li>\n<li>Secure an insurance check-up &#8211; Is your home, car, or other property covered in the event of wind or water damage?<\/li>\n<li>Assemble disaster supplies &#8211; Do you have extra cash laying around, flashlights, food and water enough for a week if the power goes out?<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen your home &#8211; Whether you stay or leave, it is advised that you board up windows and check that your garage door won&#8217;t break from high winds.<\/li>\n<li>Identify trusted sources of information &#8211; False information can lead to panic or missed opportunities to evacuate or gather enough supplies so always listen to official government sources like NOAA or a trusted local or national news outlet.<\/li>\n<li>Write up a plan &#8211; Know what supplies you will need and the numbers and locations of people before a storm hits, put it all on a piece of paper you can stick on the fridge or copy and give to neighbors or family.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Thankfully canned food and closed water bottles, batteries, prescriptions or other medication and a first aid kits can be kept around for a few years or longer. So don&#8217;t think that if you go out and spend extra on your grocery bill that your emergency supplies are going to waste. So long as you keep a can-opener around, have a few extra tools like a wrench or pliers to turn off utilities, and a battery powered radio or solar charger you are on your way to riding out the worst mother nature can throw at you.
