A hurricane warning means hurricane conditions are expected in less than 24 hours.
Hurricanes can be dangerous killers.
Learning the hurricane warning messages and planning ahead can reduce the chances of injury or major property damage. Check into flood insurance. You can find out about the National Flood Insurance Program through your local insurance agent or emergency management office. There is normally a 30-day waiting period before a new policy becomes effective. Homeowners polices do not cover damage from the flooding that accompanies a hurricane.
