Flags can help warn people when a hurricane is coming. If this flag is flying, it means a Hurricane Warning, and the winds will be greater than 74 miles per hour.
Can You Prepare for a Hurricane?
PREPARING FOR A HURRICANE:
To prepare for a hurricane people buy plywood and board up all the windows of their
homes to protect objects flying into the homes from the heavy winds.
You should have bottled water so you can have something to drink in an emergency.
Can food is also very important because you will need to eat in order to survive.
You will also need a can opener to open the cans. You would need a flashlight and extra batteries.
A battery operated radio is also very important to get news from the outside.
Candles and matchs will be needed, because you don't have any electricity.
Of course, you would need blankets to keep warm. An extra set of clothing for each member of
the family should be stored away, just in case someone needs to change clothing.
If someone gets hurt, a first aid kit is also required. You need utensils to eat the canned
food.
