thAnks for picking up the Storm Team 8 2015 Hurricane Guide.

Its the time of year when all of us start looking toward the tropics and wondering what this hurricane season has in store. That is why it is so important to equip and prepare yourself with the most recent and best possible information the kind of information youll find in this guide. For the most part, all of us who live in Central Florida have been lucky the past couple of years. In addition to this guide, Storm Team 8 will keep you informed on TV, on WFLA.com and through social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Turn to us before, during and after a hurricane, tropical storm or severe weather threatens. But no matter what is predicted, it only takes one storm. That impact could change your life forever if you and your family are not prepared. Its vital to have a survival kit and most importantly, stay informed. Thanks again for picking up the Storm Team 8 2015 Hurricane Guide. And remember: The idea is to get ready and stay ready, whether the big storms threaten us this season or not.

Each hurricane season, review, practice and update your Family Plan. You will need to know your evacuation zone, obtain emergency supplies, and take steps to protect your home. Remember to make plans for friends or family members with special needs, including your pets. Everyone, children included, should have a role.

evAcuAtionCheck the maps inside this guide to see which evacuation zone you live in. This will determine when and if you need to evacuate during a storm. The Evacuation Levels (A,B,C,D and E) are based on the potential for storm surge flooding for each category of storm (1,2,3,4 and 5). Remember: Most mobile home residents must evacuate, regardless of location. You should plan now where to evacuate your family. Make arrangements to stay with friends or relatives who live in a hurricane-safe zone. Have ready food, water and must-have supplies (see page 10). If you evacuate to an inland hotel, ask about special hurricane policies. Most importantly, make sure your destination is NOT in an evacuation zone.

leAving the AreALeave as early as possible. Have an alternate route planned. If flying, prepare for airport closings and/or canceled flights. Remember, storms can change direction quickly and without warning, so be careful and avoid driving directly into a storms new path. Tune to our Radio Partners (listed on page 2 of this guide) to stay informed on traffic conditions. Public sheltersAn evacuation shelter should be your last resort. Keep in mind, different shelters may open at different times, depending on size and intensity of a storm. Do not go until an official announces a

specific shelter has opened. Expect shelters to be crowded and uncomfortable. Be sure to bring:Pillows and blankets or sleeping bagSpecial dietary foods, water and prescription medicinesA change of clothes and personal hygiene itemsFlashlight, radio and extra batteriesInfant necessities and quiet toys for childrenImportant papers

Note: Alcohol and firearms are not allowed; most shelters will not allow pets.

if you must evAcuAteDo not panic if an evacuation order is given. Make sure you give yourself enough time to leave before the weather turns bad. DO NOT take chances with your life.Take your must-have supplies and important papers, including

your drivers license and insurance policies.Take irreplaceable items such as photos or keepsakes.Let friends and relatives know where you are going. Turn off your electricity, water and gas if officials tell you to

do so.Lock windows and doors.

if you Do not evAcuAteMake sure windows are protected and home is secured. Clean containers for drinking water and your bathtub for storing clean water. Plan on three gallons per person, per day for all uses. Offer your home to friends or relatives who need to evacuate. Have at least a two-week supply of nonperishable foods, including a nonelectric can opener and corded nonelectric phone.

business ownersEvery business also should have a Disaster Plan. For a guide, contact your local emergency management agency, Chamber of Commerce or go to www.sba.gov/content/disaster-planning.

If conditions during a storm are not safe for you, then theyre not safe for your pets either. Include your pets in your hurricane plan. Keep in mind:Service animals are the ONLY pets allowed

at most public shelters.Most motels and hotels will allow smaller

pets (cats, small dogs, etc.) for an additional fee or deposit but be sure to ask before you go.

If you evacuate to a shelter, make arrangements early to board your pet at a kennel or boarding service outside hurricane evacuation zones. Dont wait until the last minute. Space will be limited, and standard boarding fees will apply.

Regardless of where you evacuate, be sure your pet is clearly identified with a current license and rabies tag on their collar. You may consider having your pet micro-chipped.

Try to keep your schedule as normal as possible.

Make sure their shots are up to date. You may need proof of vaccinations.

Pet stores can help you find shelter for exotic pets.

Put together a Supply Kit including:A pet carrier or collapsible cage

(appropriate for your pet)Pet food, bottled water and any

medications, enough for at least one week (dont forget bowls, a manual can opener and treats)

Proof of up-to-date vaccinationsCurrent photo of you with your

pet (as proof of ownership)Cat litter, liners and panNewspaper and paper towels for clean upSmall trash bags for waste Muzzle (if necessary)Toys and other comfort itemsFirst aid kitMark all your pets belongings

with a water-proof marker.

After the storm, The Humane Society and other animal services can help you find a lost pet or locate the owner of a pet you find. Watch your pet carefully outdoors. Familiar scents and landmarks may change, and your pet could easily get confused. Downed power lines, contaminated food and water are also real dangers. Remember, pets are part of the family; dont put them at risk. Check your county map in this guide for a list of pet friendly shelters.

During the storm Stay indoors, a w a y f r o m windows, skylights and glass doors, until the storm has officially passed. Be careful; it might appear the storm is

over, but you may actually be in the eye of the hurricane. It may seem calm, but the weather could deteriorate quickly. The calm may only last 10-20 minutes.

If you lose power News Channel 8 weather coverage and news updates are available on your smart phone or tablet. Download our Weather Max and WFLA News app for free right now.

Do not use candles or kerosene lamps.Find a safe-room in your home, usually an

interior, windowless reinforced room such as a closet or bathroom on the lower floor.

Stay in your safe-room even if you hear breaking glass. Do not expose yourself to the hurricanes winds.

If your house starts to break apart, cover yourself with a mattress and pillows. If your safe-room has a bathtub, get in the tub under a mattress.

Use the phone for urgent calls only. Dont use the phone if you hear thunder.

If you are in a very tall building, avoid the top floors as wind speeds are stronger the higher you go. Go to a safe-room.

If flooding threatens your home, turn off electricity at the main breaker.

If you lose power, turn off major appliances, such as the air conditioner and water heater to reduce damage from surge when power is restored.

After the stormBe patient. It may take awhile for emergency crews to reach your neighborhood. Restoring utilities could take several weeks. Use extreme caution. There may be dangerous situations all around you.If your house is damaged, do not return until

it has been officially inspected.Find the fire extinguisher before turning on

the power.Avoid all downed power lines and water

puddles.Report downed or sparking power lines,

broken gas lines and water mains.Always supervise children.Avoid piling debris near power poles. This

may hinder repairs.Avoid driving because of debris and road

blockage.Open windows and doors to ventilate your

home.If flooding has occurred, have an inspection

before turning on the breaker. Let your out-of-town emergency contact

know you are alright.Have valid ID. It may be required to reenter

your neighborhood. Dont sightsee, especially at night.

cAll before you Dig You may be eager to remove large trees or other debris after a hurricane hits. But your

underground utilities could pose a real danger. More and more utilities are buried underground and some arent buried as deep as you may think. The result can be costly, even deadly. Before you dig, call 811 if you dont know where underground utilities are located on your property. Or go to www.sunshine811.com for more information.

fooD AnD wAter sAfetyIf power goes out, avoid opening refrigerators

and freezers to keep items from spoiling and/or thawing.

Food in a refrigerator is safe if power is out for only a few hours.

If the temperature inside exceeds 40F for more than two hours, perishable foods are unsafe to eat. (Get a small thermometer to keep inside your refrigerator.)

If there are ice crystals on freezer items, the food can safely be refrozen.

If youre unsure whether an item has spoiled, throw it away.

Do not drink tap water until officials have announced it is safe.

Commercially bottled water is good indefinitely, regardless of expiration date.

Water youve bottled yourself will only be good for about a week at room temperature (two weeks in the refrigerator).

to sterilize wAter:1. Boil for at least one minute, OR2. Add 12 drops of a 2% tincture of iodine per gallon, OR3. Add 8 drops unscented household bleach (with Hypochlorite as the only active ingredient) per gallon, OR4. Use water purification tablets.

pRoTEcTyour Home

There are some specific actions you should take to make your home safer. To make some of these i m p r o v e m e n t s , you will have to climb in the attic or crawl space with a flashlight. You may

feel more comfortable with an experienced and licensed inspector, architect, engineer or contractor inspecting your home. Whatever choice you make, take time to do this well before the storm threatens.

To withstand the forces of wind associated with severe weather, remember your ABCs:

Anchor your roof brAce entry AnD gArAge Doors cover your winDows Anchor your roofIf your roof was built before 1994 and is gabled, brace all gable-end framing with horizontal and vertical beams. Also, make sure that there is wood sheathing (planks or plywood) behind the stucco of the triangular gable-end walls.

Using a caulking gun, apply a 1/4 inch bead of APA AFG-01 certified wood adhesive along an intersection of the roof deck and roof support element (rafter or truss chord) on both sides of the beam. This technique can increase the wind uplift resistance by up to three times, but should not be used if you are going to re-roof in the near future.

brAce your entry AAnD gArAge Doors Entry doors are easily damaged by high winds. Bolt all doors with foot and head bolts with a minimum one-inch bolt throw length.

Garage doors should be able to withstand hurricane wind loads and the impacts of flying debris. If yours does not, replace with

a hurricane resistant one. Approximately 80 percent of residential hurricane wind damage starts with wind entry through garage doors.

cover your winDowsProtecting your windows is perhaps one of the most important factors in securing your home or office from total destruction in a hurricane or severe storm.

Make sure all doors and windows are properly caulked and/or weather stripped. Replace gravel/rock landscaping material with fire treated, shredded bark to reduce damage. Cover all windows and glass doors with securely fastened, impact-resistant shutters or other approved window protection systems with proper mounting fixtures or replace them with impact resistant laminated window and door systems, if feasible. Hint: You dont have to use the same system on every window. Reference: www.flash.org.

After A hurricAneDont dump debris in storm drains. Make temporary repairs to protect your

home from further damage. Cover any holes with plywood and use

heavy plastic on broken windows.If you cant make repairs yourself, check

contractors references with your insurance agent, Chamber of Commerce or Better Business Bureau.

If you rebuild, get an estimate first. Discuss payment terms and keep any receipts. You need enough insurance to cover current construction costs and you may be required to meet new building standards. Your insurance company may be able to provide assistance for these additional costs.

If you cant live in your home after a hurricane, you may be entitled to additional assistance for hotel bills, meals and other living expenses. This coverage is NOT available if damage is caused by flooding or storm surge.

keePing the wAter out

brAce your entry AnD gArAge Doors

foAmto seal a doorway, apply expanding urethane foam to the outer edges where the door meets the frame, up to two or three feet above the ground

sAnDbAgsUse sandbags to anchor a sheet of plastic to protect a doorway.

1. tape plastic to the wall and across the doorway, attaching a few feet up the wall and spreading away from the foundation on the ground.

2. Place the first row of sandbags on the plastic on the ground.

3. stack on the second row, covering gaps in the bottom level of bags.

4. stack the third row of sandbags on top of the second row, in line with the first row.

For many people, medication isnt a luxury its a necessity. Running out could lead to other health complications or even send them to the hospital. Thats why its important to have an adequate supply of medicine available, especially during hurricane season.

Its always a good idea to order prescription refills 5-7 days before your medicine will run out.

If a hurricane hits and your regular pharmacy isnt open, bring your prescription bottle to another pharmacy. The staff will use the information on the label to refill your medication. Also remember to bring your insurance card.

Even if youre forced to evacuate, you can still refill your prescriptions. Try a new pharmacy wherever you decide to evacuate. They may be able to access your prescription records electronically and help you with emergency needs. Ordering refills online or over the phone is also a good idea for fast service. But the best advice is: Never wait until the last minute to refill your medicine. Its the only way to ensure you continue taking your medication as your doctor prescribed.

consumERprotection

spEciaL needS

Register now with your county Office of Emergency Management if you have special medical needs. Bring at least three days of medical supplies you will need including: special food, water, prescriptions, nebulizers, syringes, sterile swabs and oxygen equipment. Important: Special needs shelters do not provide hands-on medical care so you may want to bring a caregiver with you. You may need to keep back-up medical items on hand such as a battery for ventilator and oxygen cylinders (48-hour supply).

If you require respirators or other electric-dependent medical equipment, you should make prior medical arrangements with your physician. You should also register with your power company.If you require oxygen or other medical supplies, check with your vendor about emergency plans.

A physician must be notified if you or someone you know needs hospitalization. Keep in mind there are a limited number of resources available during disasters such as hurricanes.

For home health care and homebound patients, inform your health care provider where you will be during a hurricane and ask about their emergency plans. Remember to take medications, written instructions regarding your care, special equipment and bedding with you if you evacuate.

ADvice for olDer ADultsThose who live alone, or are without the support of family or friends, must take special precautions in the event of an emergency situation. People who are frail or disabled (either mentally or physically) may need special assistance from family members, friends or social service agencies. Older adults who are also caregivers may require outside assistance. Excessive stress and anxiety can contribute to increased episodes of illness- particularly for persons with heart disease and other illnesses. If an older adult lives in a nursing home, assisted living facility or boarding home, the administrator should be contacted to learn about the disaster plan.

trAnsPortAtionIf you do not have transportation or are unable to drive, assistance may be available. Each local county offers some type of help to make sure you can get out of the storms path. Check with your countys Office of Emergency Management (phone numbers are on the map pages of this guide) to find detailed information about routes to assist you in the event of an evacuation.

Re p a i r i n g y o u r h o m e a f t e r a disaster can be very stressful. Here are a few ways to help protect yourself from unlicensed contractors and con artists:

Be extremely cautious of anyone coming to your home uninvited and offering to do home repairs.

Obtain a written estimate or contract. Never pay with cash.Be sure to note an address, telephone number

and license numbers. Ask for references and check them out. Insist on start and completion dates in the

contract, and do not pay the final balance until the work is completed to your satisfaction.

If you suspect insurance fraud, call the Florida Department of Financial Services Consumer Help Line at 1-877-693-5326 or visit www.myfloridacfo.com/fraud. If you suspect youve encountered scammers, call the Attorney Generals office or visit myfloridalegal.com.

One of the most important things to secure during a hurricaneand the most over looked is your important documents. Here are a few things to remember:

Store originals in a safe-deposit box at a bank.

Choose a bank some distance from your home to reduce the risk of both places suffering the same disaster.

Get a listing of all of your banks locations, addresses and phone numbers.

Copy all the documents in the safe-deposit box and place them in an evacuation box (preferably a fire-proof box).

Store your evacuation box some place you can get to easily. Take it with you if you evacuate.

Update documents in both boxes once or twice a year.

Write instructions concerning health and financial decisions for your family in the event you become incapacitated.

If you own a home, consider opening a home equity line of credit so emergency funds will be available.

A good homeowners (or renters) insurance policy is critical. Discuss the following with your insurance representative:

Most homes in Florida have a special deductible for hurricane damage. Ask about your policy and potential out-of-pocket cost.

Prepare a complete home inventory with photos. Videotape if possible and store in a safe-deposit box.

Does your policy cover the actual cash value (replacement cost, less depreciation) or replacement costs?

Do you need insurance riders on special items?

Is a windstorm insurance policy required?

Do you need flood insurance?

flooD insurAnceStandard homeowners policies do not

cover flood damage, including storm surge, from a hurricane.

Flood insurance is available to all residents in all participating communities. There is usually a 30-day waiting period.

If more than half of your home is damaged and is not built to current standards, it will have to be elevated and retrofitted.

Permits for any type of construction or reconstruction in the floodplain is required.

4. If you must go to a public shelter, use your county map to decide which one is convenient. Make sure you verify the shelter is open before you go. Many shelters are local schools. The abbreviations ES, MS, and HS (elementary school, middle school, and high school) are used on the shelter list.

hurricAne threAtThe colored areas on the maps are vulnerable to storm surge. Storm surge

is the saltwater flooding that rushes over coastal areas when the core of the hurricane crosses land.

Storm surge causes a path of destruction wiping out structures in its path. This is a life-threatening situation for anyone who ignores evacuation orders and stays in vulnerable areas.

Hurricanes are categorized on a scale of 1 to 5 depending on wind strength. The evacuation zones are color-coded to designate the level of storm surge likely to occur with the five categories.

If you live in an area ordered to evacuate, gather your emergency supplies, secure your home and leave immediately. Failure to obey an evacuation order is a violation of Florida law.

Note: All those in mobile homes/manufactured homes/RVs must evacuate for all evacuation orders, regardless of where you are located.

musT-havE SupplieS

Before buying a generator, consider the following: What appliances will you run?Do you need a portable or

stationary generator? Do you need multiple outlets or

multiple types of outlets? Other tips to consider:Never run a generator indoors

OR in your garage. Find a well-ventilated area away from your home.

Do not connect your generator directly to your homes wiring.

Always use heavy-duty, indoor/outdoor rated extension cords to connect to the generator.

Do not attempt to refuel your generator while it is running. Turn off all appliances connected to the generator, then turn off the generator. Let it cool before you attempt to refuel.

Re a d a n d f o l l ow t h e manufacturers guidelines l isted in your owners manual for correct operating procedures and power output

capabilities. Dont try to run more appliances than your generator can handle.

Check the oil every time you add gas.

Plug appliances directly into the generator.

Save gas by alternating appliances. For example, refrigerators can be kept cool by supplying power eight hours a day.

Do not store fuel indoors. Gasoline (and other flammable liquids) should be stored outside of living areas in properly labeled, non-glass safety containers. They should not be stored in a garage if a fuel-burning appliance is in the garage. The gasoline vapors can travel invisibly along the ground and easily be ignited.

Always have a fully charged, approved fire extinguisher located near the generator.
