Hurricane Season 2023…Think You're Ready?

Great advice for any homeowner wherever they may live. There are so many types of emergencies to be prepared for and these are all good.

Hi Kathy:

This is great advice for preparing for any natural disaster. I bet most people aren't really as prepared as they could or should be.

Kathy Streib This is wonderful advice for everyone to get ready for storms. With the way the weather is changing, you never know what will happen 

It’s time to stop subsidizing property insurance in hurricane and flood prone regions. It would lead to better construction

Having been through 35 years of hurricane seasons, these are excellent reminders that should not be ignored.

Hi Kathy,
I'm in wildfire country. I've only had to evacuate once, but it's not a good feeling. Thanks for the tips and I loved faye schubert's tips, as well.

Kathy I got my 10,000 watt Generac generator tuned up last year, so I am all set for whatever mother nature sends my way this year.

Those are handy suggestions for hurricane season preparedness, Kathy.  Each part of our country has natural disasters to ready for.  It's important to know the risks, and the ways to prepare.

Kathy, I am ready!! Never had a hurricane in Las Vegas and this don’t change anytime soon!!

Hi Kathy, as you know I have had my fare share of hurricanes. Our own home flooded during Hurricane Ian. So with that said, these are the only hurricanes I want to see this year! Cheers!!!!

Have lived through a tornado, so know the importance of being prepared or just praying the storm passes quickly without inflicting much damage, if any. Thankfully, we do not live in such an area now, Kathy. Like Matthew Klinowski, PA,said, I wouldn't mind seeing those Huirricanes...LOL!

Here in the high desert, fires are something to be aware of. We just had all brush removed around our fence line as a fire break.

Kathy Streib this is a great reminder to always be prepared, Living in Colorado I had always thought I was immune to many of these, but the firestorm that swept through a neighborhood west of Boulder a couple years ago, destroying 1000+ homes makes you realize you should always have an escape plan.

PS tomorrow June 3rd, is known locally as the most violent weather day of the year, with spring transitioning to summer we see tornadoes and hailstorms more often within two weeks either side of this date than any other time of year.

So true Kathy.  And there are monsoon storms, too.  One night, about 8:30, after leaving my gym, I drove straight through a "haboob" with a wall of dirt. Had to swap out the air filters on my car.  It was just awful.  We got those every few years where they are really bad.  Last year was pretty mild.   Nothing like a hurricane though!  

As Dorie Dillard Austin TX said, the key is to actually have a plan. that is, essentially how life is, in general too many people fail to plan.

You’ve presented a fantastic list of things to do to prepare in the event of a hurricane. Great post - i really is as easy as 1-2-3, Kathy.

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

As much as we have gone through the changes in global warming we are conditioned and prepared to go. Today wear winter clothing. Only 49 F right now. Will be a relatively mild day. Next week, put on gloves ??   May be ??

PS: Standby power generator, chargers all ready to go.

I am so glad that preparations for hurricane season are not on my 'to do' list.

Be safe, Kathy Streib.

Insurance companies ask the federal government to help cover large hurricane losses ie the tax payer. Premiums should reflect ris

It is that time of year and everyone needs to be prepared!  Thanks for sharing and bringing us this reminder!
