Hurricane season in Pembroke Pines can be a nerve-wracking time for parents. Here at Nowtech Academy, your child's safety is our top priority. That's why we've created this comprehensive guide to help you keep your little ones safe and secure during a storm.
Preparing Your Home and Family:
Stay Informed: Regularly monitor weather reports from trusted sources like the National Hurricane Center (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/) and Pembroke Pines official channels.
Develop a Family Hurricane Plan: Discuss your plan with your family, including evacuation routes, designated shelters, and communication strategies. Practice your plan with your children to ensure they understand what to do.
Assemble an Emergency Kit: Create a well-stocked emergency kit containing non-perishable food, bottled water, first-aid supplies, medications, flashlights, batteries, a battery-powered radio, and a whistle. Don't forget to include comfort items for your child, such as their favorite stuffed animal or blanket.
Secure Your Home: Trim trees and secure loose outdoor furniture to prevent them from becoming projectiles in high winds. Board up windows if necessary.
