Staying Safe After a Hurricane

9/2/2021 (Permalink)

In addition to preparing for a hurricane, it’s important to take steps to stay safe after a hurricane is over, for example:

• Avoid flooded areas: Take precautions before, during, and after a flood. Never drive through floodwater.
• Prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning after the storm: Ensure your CO detector has working batteries. Place generators outside at least 20 feet from any door, window, or vent.
• Continue to follow preventive actions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
• Dealing with disasters can cause stress and strong emotions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is natural to feel anxiety, grief, and worry. Coping with these feelings and getting help when you need it will help you, your family, and your community recover.
