Many people rely on their neighbors to help them after a disaster. But more can be done before and during the storm as well to help others who may need the assistance.

Before the Storm

Help your neighbors collect supplies and prepare emergency kits. Encourage them to contact their insurance agent to ensure they have appropriate coverage for home and contents. Help them board up their windows if you plan to ride the storm out.

During the Storm

Assist neighbors who may need extra help with evacuation as needed.

After the Storm

When it is safe for you to head outside, check on your neighbors. Do they need any help? Is anyone hurt?
