Michael Petruccelli says; If you are evacuating to stay with
friends or relatives or in a Host Home…
Take your “Go Bag” and ask in
advance what kind of space you’ll have for your possessions and vehicles.
Prepare your home to leave
Regardless of where you are
evacuating, before you leave your home, be sure to do the following:
• Secure your home – board windows,
secure garage doors
• Take your valuables and important
papers with you
• Turn off all utilities (water, electricity,
gas) at the main switch
• Lock windows and doors
• Fill your gas tank
• Advise friends or relatives of
where you are going
