The 12 Days of Hurricane Preparedness: A simple plan to be ready for hurricanes... or other emergencies
Recent forecasts from the National Weather Service and other Hurricane watchers predict an active Hurricane Season for the U.S. Connecticut has been severely
affected many times by Hurricanes. Individuals, businesses and communities can take some basic steps to be better informed about and prepared for Hurricanes.
Early attention to risks and planning can avoid great inconvenience or even tragedy later. The twelve steps shown here will help to prepare you for Hurricanes and
other emergencies throughout the year.
Free preparedness and planning information is available from the Red Cross. Call us at 1-877-CT Red Cross (1-877-287-3327) or visit www.ctredcross.org. Many
supplies are available at our Red Cross Store, which is accessible online, by phone or at the Chapter, at 209 Farmington Avenue in Farmington.
On the First Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
On the Second Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a WATER CONTAINER. Hav-
ing an ample supply of clean water is a prior-
ity in an emergency.
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a NOAA WEATHER RADIO
that provides continuous broadcasts of
weather information from the National
Weather Service. During severe weather,
special watch and warning messages are
issued. Battery and crank-powered radios
are available from our Red Cross Store.
On the Third Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
Install A-B-C type Fire Extinguishers in your
home and teach all household members
how to use them.
On the Fourth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase PLASTIC SHEETING. Plastic
sheeting is a vital part of a Family Disaster
Supplies Kit. Disaster Supplies Kits may be
made at home or purchased from our Red
Cross Store.
On the Fifth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a supply of CANNED FOOD.
Store at least a three-day supply of non-
perishable food.

On the Sixth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you consider purchasing a GENERATOR. A
generator can be a convenient source of
power after a hurricane strikes, especially if
you have electrically powered medical
equipment or a well with an electric pump.
Generators should be properly installed and
used safely.

On the Twelfth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase DUCT TAPE. Duct tape is
one of the many items that should be in a
Family Disaster Supplies Kit. Check out the
kits available from our Red Cross Store.
On the Seventh Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
On the Eighth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a FLASHLIGHT. As simple as
a Flashlight is, it can become a very im-
portant tool during and after disaster strikes.
Every Family Disaster Supplies Kit should
contain a Flashlight and spare batteries.
Make your own kit or buy one at our Red
Cross Store.
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a FAMILY DISASTER SUP-
PLIES KIT. A family will cope best by prepar-
ing for a disaster before it strikes. One way
to prepare is by assembling a Family Disaster
Supplies Kit. Once disaster hits, you won't
have time to shop and search for supplies.
Shop for a kit at our Red Cross Store.

On the Ninth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a SLEEPING BAG. If you
have to evacuate your home, a sleeping bag
will provide you with extra comfort when you
arrive at an American Red Cross shelter.
On the Tenth Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase a FIRST AID KIT. Because
the first five minutes of a medical emergen-
cy are critical every individual and family
should have a First Aid Kit in their home and
vehicle and on their boat. Check out the kits
available from our Red Cross Store.
On the Eleventh Day of
Hurricane Preparedness
The American Red Cross recommends that
you purchase needed supplies to PROTECT
WINDOWS AND DOORS against wind
damage. Installing hurricane shutters on all
windows of a home will help to mitigate the
damage due to a storm's severe winds.
