Stay CSM Safe During Hurricane Season
Southern Maryland hurricane season runs June through November. Don’t wait until a storm is approaching to prepare.
- Update emergency contacts and make sure you know at least one important number by heart.
- Know your shelter locations—at home, at work, and at school.
- Build an emergency kit. Be sure to include any crucial medications.
- Charge devices and backup batteries. Remember that batteries start to lose capacity with age and repeated charging.
- Stay informed through official alerts. Make sure you can still receive vital information even when there’s no power or cell service, such as with a battery-powered weather radio.
Preparedness today can make all the difference tomorrow.
