Be Prepared for Hurricane Season

Week of June 01, 2009

The 2009 Atlantic Hurricane season begins in June. To keep you and your  family safe in the event of a natural disaster, be sure to have a complete  emergency kit on hand. Keep it up to date, make sure everything works and make  sure your food and water has not expired. Along with food, water, a battery-operated  weather radio, flashlights and first-aid supplies, include any medical  necessities you may need in your kit. Keep in mind that medical assistance may  not be available immediately after a disaster. For more information and more tips  on disaster preparedness, visit the Department of Homeland Security's preparedness webpage  and the TRICARE's disaster relief webpage. Some downloads include a wallet card with critical  contact information and a disaster preparation flyer.
