Set up a manageable schedule to repair property. Be aware of symptoms of stress and fatigue. Talk with your children about what has happened and how they can help during the recovery. Being involved will help them deal with the situation. Consider the needs of your neighbors.
People often become isolated during hurricanes.
Stay away from disaster areas unless local authorities request volunteers. If you are needed, bring your own drinking water, food and sleeping gear. Another way to help is to donate money to a recognized disaster relief organization. Do not donate food, clothing or other personal items unless they are specifically requested. Drive only when necessary.
