Michael Petruccelli asks: What actions should you take after a Hurricane Warning has been issued?
Michael Petruccelli says; 1) Stay tuned to local news and get your weather radio ready. 2) Complete any final preparations to evacuate or to shelter in your home. 3) If your plan is to travel out of the local area and you can leave at this point, do so. 4) If you are registered for transportation to a public shelter, have your "go bag" ready. Rescue workers will begin pick-ups shortly after the evacuation order has been issued.
