HURRICANE READY: The Family Hurricane Preparedness Workbook

HURRICANE READY is a practical family preparedness workbook designed to help you get ready before the next hurricane threatens your community.

You'll also find fill-in worksheets, checklists, emergency contacts, a home inventory section, and a one-page emergency information card to help turn your preparedness plan into something you can actually use.

Whether you're preparing for your first hurricane or simply realizing that your family's emergency plan needs an update, HURRICANE READY gives you a clear starting point.

Prepare before the warning. Know your plan. Protect what matters most.
