Thread: Atlantic Hurricane Season '22

I know, I know, the wars on public health, democracy, & Ukraine have exhausted you. Storms don't care about that. But at least we *can* control this:

May 1-7, 2022 is #HurricanePreparednessWeek

Visit: noaa.gov/hurricane-prep

That link above is a treasure trove on prepping for hurricanes, and other threats too.

I used to encourage folk to shop for supplies as early as possible since they always run out before the hurricane arrives.

Then the pandemic said: hold my beer.

Any time spent prepping is better than nothing. For many of us, money is tight, and we have enough going on today to turn our minds to tomorrow, let alone the start of hurricane season in 51 days.

So do what you can, where you can, when you can.

Look for free or low cost solutions. Prioritize. Study your options. Team up with others.

One of the best ways to survive a hurricane is to evacuate early rather than late or not at all. If you need to, start setting money aside for travel and other costs.

I'll add tips and links to resources here as we go on. I use the hashtag #HWStormWatch for my observations and thoughts as each (major) storm approaches and recedes.

It's a nice change from pandemic watch, fascist watch and war watch, believe me. Hopefully no locusts this year.
