Thanks STORMRIDER
Well, today is June 1st. Hurricane Season. For the next 6 months, all eyes on the GOM.
There is one thing I really want to stress (other than having a PLAN) is this:
IF you or a loved one, is dependent on electricity, to LIVE
MAKE A PLAN now to get OUT of town. Especially if you live
in a low lying area and must evacuate.
Once you lose power don't think the power company will
come right on over to turn your power back on.
They won't. Maybe they cant get to your area.
And you'll be like a fish out of water.
LEAVE.
Make a plan and figure out where you would go
who you would stay with
and how you will get there.
You know your disability better than anyone else.
You know what you have to do to sustain an independent lifestyle.
work it.
I got some really good links I hope you bookmark for your area:
These give good information for people with disabilities and you can always
keep the number of your local emergency management office.
IF you need a way out: REGISTER either with your local OEM or 211.
