As National Preparedness Month comes to an end, it

As National Preparedness Month comes to an end, it is a great time to ensure you are prepared for severe weather and flooding. Washington County Government and The City of Hagerstown would like to share a check list of tips for our residents.

For severe weather:
✅ Build a kit that includes food, water, first aid kit, and other supplies.
✅ Prepare your home by securing outdoor objects, covering windows with storm shutters or plywood, trimming trees and shrubs, preparing an outdoor generator, and filling your car’s gas tank and parking it in the garage if possible.
✅ Have flashlights, battery/solar powered phone chargers, battery/hand-crank powered radio, and spare batteries on hand.
✅ Know where to go in case of severe wind or a tornado.

For flooding:
✅ Know your risk for floods by visiting FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center.
✅ Purchase or renew flood insurance
✅ Create a plan for your household, including your pets, on what to do, where to go, and what you need.
✅ Secure important documents in a waterproof container.

Also, please remember:
❌ Never drive through flooded roads.
💧 6 inches of water is enough to cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
🚗 If you encounter flood water on a roadway, turn around.

Lastly, it is important to know the difference between a warning, an advisory, and a watch.
🟥 Warning: issued when a hazardous weather is occurring, imminent or likely. Weather conditions pose a threat to life or property. People in the path of the storm need to take protective action.
🟧 Advisory: issued when a hazardous weather is occurring, imminent or likely. Advisories are used for less serious conditions that cause significant inconvenience and if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life or property.
🟨 Watch: used when the risk of a hazardous weather has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain. It is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so. A watch means that hazardous weather is possible.
