Hurricane season is quickly approaching, and it’s important to be prepared for any potential storms. That’s why we’re excited to launch our #HowDoYouHurricane campaign for National Hurricane Preparedness Week. This campaign is designed to help you connect with others and share your hurricane preparedness strategies to help keep you and your loved ones safe.
The #HowDoYouHurricane campaign is all about sharing tips and strategies for hurricane preparedness. Whether you live in a hurricane-prone area or not, it’s important to be prepared in case a storm does come your way. By sharing your preparedness strategies, you can help others in your community learn how to prepare for a hurricane and keep themselves safe.
To participate in the campaign, all you need to do is share your hurricane preparedness tips on social media using the hashtag #HowDoYouHurricane. This can include anything from creating a disaster kit to developing an evacuation plan to staying informed during a storm. Make sure to tag your friends and family members to encourage them to share their tips as well!

Not sure where to start with your hurricane preparedness plan? Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Create a disaster kit: Your disaster kit should include enough food, water, and other supplies to last for at least three days. This includes non-perishable food items, bottled water, first aid supplies, important documents, and any necessary medications.
- Develop an evacuation plan: If you live in a hurricane-prone area, it’s important to have an evacuation plan in place. This should include a designated meeting place for your family, a communication plan, and information on the closest shelters in your area.
- Stay informed: Pay attention to local weather forecasts and keep up to date with any warnings or updates from your local emergency management officials. Make sure you have access to multiple sources of information, such as NOAA weather radio, local news outlets, and social media.
By participating in the #HowDoYouHurricane campaign, you can help spread awareness about the importance of hurricane preparedness and share valuable tips and strategies with others. Let’s work together to make sure everyone is ready for whatever the hurricane season may bring!
