LETTER from Steve jerve

Thanks for picking up the Storm Team 8 2014 Hurricane Guide. It’s 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 you’ll 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. It’s vital to have a survival kit and most importantly, stay informed. Thanks again for picking up the Storm Team 8 2014 Hurricane Guide. And remember: The idea is to get ready and stay ready, whether the big storms threaten us this season or not.

Developing a Family Plan Each hurricane season,

Gayle Sierens

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.

Evacuation

Check 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.

IF YOU MUST EVACUATE

Do 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 driver’s 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 Evacuate

Leaving the Area

Leave 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 storm’s new path. Tune to our Radio Partners (listed on page 2 of this guide) to stay informed on traffic conditions.

Public shelters

specific shelter has opened. Expect shelters to be crowded and uncomfortable. Be sure to bring: • Pillows and blankets or sleeping bag • Special dietary foods, water and prescription medicines • A change of clothes and personal hygiene items • Flashlight, radio and extra batteries • Infant necessities and quiet toys for children • Important papers Note: Alcohol and firearms are not allowed; most shelters will not allow pets.

An 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

Make 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 owners

Every 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/disaster.

protect yourself During the Storm

• Stay indoors, away from windows, skylights and glass doors, until the storm has officially passed. steve Be careful; it might jerve 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 hurricane’s 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. Don’t 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 Storm

Be 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. • Don’t 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

protect your PETs If conditions during a storm are not safe for you, then they’re 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. • I f you evacuate to a shelter, make arrangements early to board your pet at a kennel or boarding service outside hurricane evacuation zones. Don’t 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.

2014

• 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 (don’t forget bowls, a manual can opener and treats) • Proof of up-to-date vaccinations • Current photo of you with your pet (as proof of ownership) • Cat litter, liners and pan • Newspaper and paper towels for clean up • Small trash bags for waste • Muzzle (if necessary) • Toys and other comfort items • First aid kit • Mark all your pets’ belongings with a water-proof marker.

underground utilities could pose a real danger. More and more utilities are buried underground and some aren’t buried as deep as you may think. The result can be costly, even deadly. Before you dig, call 811 if you don’t know where underground utilities are located on your property. Or go to www.callsunshine.com for more information.

Food and Water Safety

• If 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 40°F 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 you’re 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 you’ve 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, OR 2. Add 12 drops of a 2% tincture of iodine per gallon, OR 3. Add 8 drops unscented household bleach (with Hypochlorite as the only active ingredient) per gallon, OR 4. Use water purification tablets.

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; don’t put them at risk. Check your county map in this guide for a list of pet friendly shelters.

KEEPING THE WATER OUT

Protect

Your Home There are some specific actions you should take to make your home safer. To make some of these improvements, you will have to climb in the attic or leigh crawl space with a spann 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 ABC’s:

Anchor your roof Brace entry and garage doors Cover your windows

ANCHOR YOUR ROOF

If 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 and 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.

Foam

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

To 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

COVER YOUR WINDOWS

Protecting 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 don’t have to use the same system on every window. Reference: www.flash.org.

AFTER A HURRICANE

• Don’t 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 can’t make repairs yourself, check contractor’s 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 can’t 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.

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

Sandbags

Use 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.

PLANNING FOR

PHARMACEUTICALS For many people, medication isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Running out could lead to other health complications or even send them to the hospital. That’s why it’s important to have an adequate supply of medicine available, especially during hurricane season. It’s always a good idea to order prescription refills 5-7 days before your medicine will run out.

special needs julie phillips

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, nebulizer, 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.

If a hurricane hits and your regular pharmacy isn’t 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 you’re 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. It’s the only way to ensure you continue taking your medication as your doctor prescribed.

consumer protection

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 ADULTS

Those 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.

transportation

If 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 storm’s path. Check with your county’s 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.

Repairing your home after 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 1-800-342-2762 or visit www. fldfs.com/fraud. If you suspect you’ve encountered scammers, call the Attorney General’s office or visit www.myflorida.com.

A good homeowner’s (or renter’s) 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 outof-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 INSURANCE

• Standard homeowner’s 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 30day 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.

FILING A CLAIM

• Notify your insurance agent as soon as possible and have your policy number on hand. • Ask when you can expect an adjustor to visit your home. • Present photos and inventory of damaged items, including their age and value. • Have any receipts and estimates on hand. • Be patient. Cases are expedited based on severity or hardship.

One of the most impor tant things to secure during a hurricane—and the m o s t ov e r l o o k e d —is your important d o cu m en t s. 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 bank’s 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.

For evacuation box only:

• Safe-deposit box information (location, contents and key) • Cash, a few rolls of quarters and traveler’s checks

safe-deposit box or evacuation box:

prescriptions, allergies and immunizations) • Photocopy of driver’s license • Birth, Death and Marriage certificates • Social Security card • Passport • Will and living will • Mortgage/property deeds • Adoption papers • Military records • Car titles • Trust documents • Tax return(s) • Written instructions for family members • List of emergency contacts, (family, friends, lawyer, financial advisors, etc.) • Personal property inventory (item description, serial number, receipt and photograph or video)

Other documents to consider:

• Home improvement records /receipts • Warranties and receipts for major purchases • Appraisals of jewelry, collectibles, artwork, etc. • Credit card records • Retirement account records • Recent checking, savings and investment account statements • Rental agreement and/or lease • Recent pay stub and employee benefits information • Backup disks of critical computerized information • Negatives of irreplaceable personal photographs (with protective plastic sleeves)

• Insurance policies (life, auto, homeowners, renters, etc.) • Copies of health insurance information (insurance card, doctor’s name and number,

flood safety • Avoid flooded areas, high velocity flow areas, and areas subject to sudden flooding. Do not attempt to cross flowing streams. • Roads may not be intact under flood waters and the depth of the water is not always obvious. Turn around and go another way. • If the vehicle stalls, leave it and seek higher ground. Rising water may engulf the vehicle; sweeping it away. • Use caution at night when it is more difficult to recognize flood dangers. • Keep children away from high water, storm drains and viaducts.

• Throw out any food that came in contact with flood waters. • Use flashlights (not lanterns, torches or matches) to examine buildings. Flammables may be inside.

FIND OUT IF YOU’RE IN A FLOOD ZONE

Flood maps are usually kept on file at your local county courthouse, municipal office or library. For additional information, call FEMA’s Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616.

generator safety 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 home’s 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 manufacturer’s guidelines listed in your owner’s manual for correct operating

procedures and power output capabilities. Don’t 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.

using your county map 1. Locate where you live and work on the map. 2. Determine whether you are in an evacuation area, and if so, what level (color). 3. If you are in an evacuation area, or mobile home/manufactured home/RV, decide where you will go if ordered to evacuate. Your choices include: • Home of a relative or friend outside the evacuation zone • Hotel/motel outside the evacuation zone (make arrangements early) • Leave the area entirely • As a last resort go to a public shelter 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 THREAT

• The 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.
