Get ahead of the game this hurricane season

Though the 2018 hurricane season is predicted to be a slow one, it’s important to take steps in advance to prepare yourself and your home for the possibility of natural disaster. Know your hurricane terminology, purchase emergency supplies like bottled water and batteries, have an evacuation plan in place for yourself and your pets, make copies of important documents, back up electronic devices and know the details of your home and flood insurance policies.

Most importantly, take a minute to download the WWL-TV News App for iPhone and Android to receive breaking news and weather alerts in emergency situations.
