Hurricane Preparedness

Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit.  Luke 12:35

​72 Hour Lutheran
Hurricane season is from June 1 through November 30. We may not be as prepared as we need to be.
We encourage each and every one of you to become a 72 Hour Lutheran, a person who has enough supplies in their home to meet their household’s basic needs for 72 hours.
​
Being prepared to take care of your own family and your own congregational members allows you to then reach out and help others within your community.
How do I become a 72 Hour Lutheran?  A 72 Hour Lutheran is a person who happens to be Lutheran and has enough supplies in their home to meet their household’s basic needs for 72 hours.  Printable Checklist

Checklist
  • Discuss the type of hazards that could affect your family. Know your home’s vulnerability to storm surge, flooding, and wind. Locate a safe room or the safest areas in your home for each hurricane hazard. In certain circumstances, the safest areas may not be your home but within your community.
  • If necessary, determine an escape route from your home and designate places to meet. (Note: these should be measured in tens of miles, rather than hundreds of miles.) Have an out-of-state friend as a family contact so all your family members have a single point of contact.
  • Make a plan now for what to do with your pets if you need to evacuate.
  • Call the church and make sure that they have all your information.
  • Create a disaster supply kit
    • Proper identification
