HOUSTON (AP) Hurricane season can be stressful for millions of Americans living in coastal areas, as powerful winds and heavy rain can cause widespread damage, cut power for days or weeks and otherwise upend peoples lives.
Forecasters are expecting another unusually busy season for the Atlantic, with predictions calling for six to 10 hurricanes, with up to half reaching major status.
But the stress of hurricane season can be reduced if people have a plan for preparing their homes and for whether to stay and ride out a storm or evacuate, according to emergency management officials. That preparation, which includes putting together a kit of essential supplies, should begin long before a storm is approaching.
Dont be complacent, take preparedness seriously, spend the time now to do the little things that will make a big difference for you and your loved ones when something does happen, said Brian Mason, director of Houstons Office of Emergency Management.
