What is the difference between a Hurricane Watch and a Hurricane Warning?
A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within the next 36 hours. Follow evacuation orders from local officials if given
A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the next 48 hours. Know your evacuation route & listen to local officials
Don’t put you or your family at risk; follow the instructions of local officials – and if told to evacuate, evacuate. To keep up with your local weather forecast, monitor local media updates or visit www.weather.gov. Timely info on weather conditions like a hurricane can make a big difference. Sign up for local alerts & warnings.
Check your Emergency Supplies:

- Count your stock... is it enough?
- Check your expiration dates (food, water, batteries)
- Keep cash on hand
- Don't let your gas tank get below half-full
