Hurricane season starts June 1 - are you ready?
Step 1 - Do not panic
Step 2 - Be prepared and have a plan.  If you live in an evacuation zone, plan where you will be going and what you will take with you.  Emergency Shelters are shelters of last resort - much better than staying in an evacuation zone, but not a comfortable way to ride out the storm.  Make sure an incorporate your horse into your plan.  If you board your horse, talk to the barn manager about their hurricane plan.  Great information on what to include can be found at this link.  If your plan includes evacuatating your horses, plan on leaving 72 hours before the storm.  Landfall is when the eye of the storm comes ashore - strong winds will be in your area well in advance of the storm officially making landfall.  You do not want to be caught on the road with a high profile vehicle (like a horse trailer).
Step 3 - If a storm is forecast for our area, put your plan into action.
