Hurricane Safety

	During this Hurricane Season, Keep Trees in Mind! Miami-Dade County, other local organizations and experts recommend that you prepare several months prior to hurricane season.
	Generator Safety Even though there was little need for those generators during the 2006 season, don’t let your generator safety skills get rusty. Anyone who owns a generator should be prepared to operate it safely if the need arises. Learn what gas stations and supermarkets  have backup generator capability.
	Hurricane Supply Checklist Your Hurricane supply kit should have a 3 to 14 day supply of the items in this checklist. Remember to buy supplies early and if you are planning to evacuate to a Red Cross Evacuation Center, please be sure to take these items.
	Hurricane Evacuation Zones Miami-Dade County has identified three hurricane evacuation zones based on potential storm surge. It is important to know if you reside in one of the zones and to have an evacuation plan in place.
