Remove dead branches from trees and trim shrubs. If you live in a mobile home, recreational vehicle, boat or on a barrier island, pre-arrange for safe refuge. Do not plan to remain in your home during the hurricane. Review your property insurance coverage with your insurance agent. Make sure you have enough insurance to fully replace your home and its contents.
Public transportation is very limited.
If you have no transportation, it is strongly recommended that you make arrangements with a relative, close friend, neighbor, or through your civic association for transportation help. Have them pick you and your family up and take you to the nearest designated emergency public shelter or another safe refuge. Make necessary arrangements for the safety of your pets and your boat. Remember each individual is responsible for preparing for their special needs in response to a hurricane threat. If the emergency warrants evacuation because of life threatening hazards, County officials may advise, or order evacuation of vulnerable areas.
