Aloha! Our local Hawaii and Maui teams are also your neighbors! For over twenty years, we have lived and worked alongside Kailua-Kona locals. Here are some proactive steps locals can take to prepare for the hurricane season:
Create an Emergency Kit: Assemble a kit for 7 to 10 days with essential supplies such as water, non-perishable food, medications, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and important documents.
Develop a Family Emergency Plan: Establish a communication plan and determine a safe meeting place.
Stay Informed: Monitor weather reports and updates from reliable sources such as the National Weather Service and local news.
Secure Your Home: Inspect your home for any potential vulnerabilities. Secure loose items in your yard, trim trees and shrubs, and reinforce windows and doors.
Review Insurance Coverage: Ensure your home and property insurance policies are up-to-date and provide adequate coverage for hurricane-related damage.
Prepare an Evacuation Plan: Know the nearest evacuation routes and shelters.
Protect Important Documents: Store important documents such as identification, insurance policies, and medical records in a waterproof container.
Stock Up on Supplies: Ensure you have sufficient supplies of essential items, such as prescription medications, baby supplies, and pet food.
Backup Power Sources: Consider having a generator or alternative power source ready in case of prolonged power outages.
