⚠️Tropical Storm Isaias is forecasted to make landfall tomorrow evening, possibly reaching hurricane strength⚠️ 🌀
Be sure to be prepared to keep you and your loved ones safe (including your furry family members we can’t forget them 🐾)! Hence a few reminders:
✅📻 Keep yourself informed from local news & authorities. Sign up for local alerts to stay informed about any warnings or evacuations notices and get familiar with what forecast information means in order to be ready.
✅🎒 Create an emergency kit with non-perishable food, water, medications, flashlight, batteries, portable phone chargers, radio, and a first aid kit 🩹 .
✅🆔 Keep important documents safe and handy, such as your wallet, passport, and insurance cards/policies.
✅🔐 Secure your home, trim trees, secure or bring your outdoor furniture inside, and if possible, install shutters or reinforcing garage doors. Tuck away objects likely to blow away in strong winds or wash away in flash flood areas.
✅🔌If flooding happens place essential items on an upper floor. Unplug electrical appliances and prepare to cut off gas, electricity, and water. Don’t drive in flooded areas because it could be very dangerous.
✅🏠 When a hurricane is coming don’t put yourself in danger, stay at home, away from windows until the authorities share it's safe to go out.
✅📲 Have an evacuation plan and communicate the plan with your family and loved ones.
✅ And if you’re a Belgian traveling abroad always register your trip on travellersonline in order for your local embassy or consulate to assist in case of an emergency.
👀 Stay alert, be prepared and stay safe!
