According to weather reports, Tropical Storm Fay could effect our area sometime this week. Now is the time to stock up on supplies, make sure your vehicle is full of gas, fill your prescriptions and keep your eye on the progression of the storm. When the possibility of a hurricane is coming to the area, time is of the essence.

The best way to remain safe during a hurricane or a tropical storm is to be prepared! Make a list of all the supplies that you will need and plan a shopping trip. Locate your flashlights, battery operated radios and make sure your gas grills are full. If you have pets, now the time to check on their supplies, as well. Get your pet carriers ready, stock up on dog food, prescriptions and locate any pet friendly shelters in the area. Look around your yard and see if there are any loose items that could be blown away during high winds and spend a few minutes picking them up.

Even if Tropical Storm Fay doesn’t head up this way, it never hurts to be prepared!
