The National Weather Service (NWS) emphasizes several key safety tips for hurricane season to help people stay prepared and safe. First, residents in hurricane-prone areas should develop a family emergency plan, including evacuation routes and communication strategies. It's crucial to assemble an emergency kit with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, medications, and important documents. When a hurricane warning is issued, follow evacuation orders immediately, avoid flooded areas, and secure your home to minimize damage from high winds and water.
