Additionally, there are several federal and other resources available online where you can learn more about what you may need and how to prepare for the hurricane. These include:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which coordinates federal responses to hurricanes and other natural disasters, and continues to remain in contact with State and local officials about the approaching hurricane. (FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/, or https://www.ready.gov/hurricanes).

The American Red Cross, which supports federal, State, and local responses to natural disasters, and has recommendations for what you should include in your emergency preparedness kit, how you can create a household evacuation plan, and when you should evacuate to an emergency shelter—as well as where these shelters are located.
