Weather: Don't know about you all but I have a chill in my bones - like Gramma used to have! No heat just yet, but did dig out the small radiator a couple of nights ago.
Got Some C.U. prep reminders (Ready.gov) in my inbox:
We are reaching out because we know that Hurricane Florence may impact your state over the next several days, and your safety is our primary concern. In preparing for storm, please consider these tips...
When a hurricane is 18-36 hours from arriving: Bookmark your city or county website for quick access to storm updates and emergency instructions. Bring loose, lightweight objects inside that could become projectiles in high winds (e.g., patio furniture, garbage cans); anchor objects that would be unsafe to bring inside (e.g., propane tanks); trim or remove trees close enough to fall on the bldg. Cover all of your home’s windows. Permanent storm shutters offer the best protection for windows. A second option is to board up windows with 5/8” exterior grade or marine plywood, cut to fit and ready to install.
When a hurricane is 6-18 hours ... Turn on your TV/radio, or check your city/county website every 30 minutes in order to get the latest weather updates and emergency instructions. CHARGE your cell phone now so you will have a full battery in case you lose power.
6 hours from arriving: If you’re not in an area that is recommended for evacuation, plan to Stay at Home or where you are and let friends and family know where you are. Close storm shutters, and stay away from windows. Flying glass from broken windows could injure you. Turn your refrigerator or freezer to the coldest setting and open only when necessary. If you lose power, food will last longer. Keep a thermometer in the refrigerator to be able to check the food temperature when the power is restored. Turn on your TV/radio, or check your city/county website every 30 minutes in order to get the latest weather updates and emergency instructions. In the event that the Credit Union’s operations are impacted, we will update our website. |
