YOUR FAMILY

CBS12 ANCHOR

Unlike other natural disasters such as

earthquakes and tornadoes, hurricanes
take time to develop. If a hurricane
is tracking in your direction, its never
too early for the whole family to start
planning. Everyone, including children,
should have a role. Remember to make
plans for friends or family members with
special needs, as well as pets.

Before a hurricane

Have an out of state friend as a family

contact, so all your family members have
a single point of contact.
Make a plan now for what to do with
your pets if you need to evacuate.
Post emergency numbers by your
phones and make sure your children
know how and when to call 911.
Check your insurance coverage. Flood
damage is not usually covered by
homeowners insurance.
Take pictures or home videos of your
home contents for insurance purposes.
Stock non-perishable supplies and a
disaster supply kit.

Take first aid, CPR and disaster

preparedness classes.
Get cash. Without power, credit cards
are unusable. Get small bills - $5, 10, 20s.
Make copies of important papers and
keep them in a waterproof container:

Insurance documents (home
insurance and health insurance)

Birth certificates

Marriage certificates

Social security cards

Bank account numbers

T
 ax returns for the previous
two years
Make arrangements for your pets.

If you evacuate

Fill up the gas tanks in your vehicles.

There will be long lines at the pumps.
If the power goes out, the pumps go
out, too.
Keep a road map in each vehicle.
Accidents, trees and power lines will
cause detours.
Arrange several places for your family
to meet up if you get separated during
an evacuation, like the homes of out of
town friends and family.
Take all medications, keys, extra
bedding, bottled water, a first aid kit,
flashlights, and fresh batteries.
Dont forget to take those important
papers listed above. You may be asked
for proof of residency before youre
allowed back into your neighborhood.
A disaster can be very scary and difficult
for young children, especially if they have
to leave home and sleep somewhere else.

Assemble supplies. A first aid kit, a

3-day supply of non-perishable food and
ice, 3 gallons of fresh water per person
per day, flashlights, fresh batteries, and
battery operated radio. Remember extra
supplies for family members with special
needs like babies and the elderly.
Everyone should know how to turn off
electricity, gas and water if authorities
instruct you to do so.
Assign chores to each family member.
Keep small children well supervised so
they dont get in the way or get hurt
during storm preparation.
Designate a safe room in the house,
one with no windows. It could be a large
closet, bathroom or any interior room.
Stay in that room during the worst part
of the storm to protect you from broken
windows and debris.

After a storm

If you evacuated, wait for the ALL CLEAR

from local authorities letting you know
its safe to return home.
Check for damage in your home (use
flashlights, do not light matches, candles
or turn on electrical switches in case of
a gas leak).
Contact your insurance provider to
report any damages.
Clean up spilled medicines, bleaches,
gasoline and other flammable liquids
immediately.
Call your out of town contact and other
family members to let them know you
are okay.
Check on your neighbors, especially
elderly or disabled persons.
Repair or block off access to anything in
your home that is damaged and could
cause injuries.
Stay away from downed power lines.
Do not let children play in standing water.

PROTECT

YOURSELF
Michael
Ehrenberg

CBS12 STORMTRAC METEOROLOGIST

SECURE ROOM
This is first and most important. You must
find the best place to make a last stand.
Sure, your bedroom is comfy, your living
room is friendly and your windows are
shuttered. But your bathroom (because of
the plumbing in the walls), a closet (extra
framing) or the space underneath an
interior staircase may be more sturdy.
Make sure you can clear enough space
for you (and any other household members)
because you may be spending several hours
here while the hurricane rocks the house. You
will want to be comfortable with pillows
and blankets. If you can squeeze in
a mattress, all the better for added
comfort and an extra layer of protection.
(If your predicament seems particularly
precarious, put the mattress over you.)

TAKE ESSENTIALS

Please dont freak out when I say this

even though its true: Your secure room
may become a tomb, briefly. You could
be trapped in there for several hours after
the storm passes. While your hurricane
stockpile may be stashed in several places
around the house, consider your secure
rooms post-hurricane essentials:
battery-operated am/fm radio
flashlights
extra batteries
some water and non-perishable food
can opener
durable clothes (dont want to be caught
in your pajamas)
hammer, screwdriver (to break through
debris)
air horn (to signal for help)
diapers, formula (for an infant)
cell phone (maybe the towers wont be
blown down)

a
 traditional, plug-in corded telephone
(cordless and many other phones wont
work without electricity)
e
 ssential papers, documents, e.g., birth
certificates, backed-up computer files.
One note: Your old, battery-operated analog
TV is worthless. Now, you must use a batteryoperated digital TV set.

ACT SMART

For the record: Stay in your secure space

until the all-clear is given by emergency
authorities. OK? Got it? Are you going to
do it? No, nobody does. After Hurricanes
Frances, Jeanne and Wilma, hundreds
of you approached me to share your
stories. Not one person, not one, claimed
to have stayed inside, safe and secure,
until the all-clear was sounded. And, frankly,
much of your behavior sounded more
reckless than having a reporter standing
in the howling winds and rain to do a live
report. (But that, after all, is what we do.
All crews are told to seek shelter when
conditions are dangerous.) Lets be realistic.
You can satisfy your curiosity and stay
safe if you assess the dangers and
act appropriately.
So, until the all-clear is sounded:
1) Stay away from all un-shuttered,
non-hurricane resistant glass;
2) Wear hard-soled shoes;
3) Dont touch any power line;
4) Do not attempt any repairs or cleanup;
5) If the hurricane eye is passing over
your home and you simply must go
outside, time yourself. Take a quick look
for no longer than a count of 30. Then,
force yourself back inside. Its easy to
be lulled by the calm and be caught

CBS12 NEWS / CBS12.com

by the sudden return of winds on the

back side of the storm.

YOURSELF FIRST

This decade has been a buzz kill for

the term hurricane party. June through
November is now a time of high anxiety
and grim preparedness. But dont lose
perspective. You wont be any good
to anybody if you dont stay calm. If a
nasty storm approaches and you have
taken precautions, dont be frightened.
You have done what you can do. In fact,
you should reward yourself. Grab a bag
of potato chips or an extra scoop of ice
cream. Download an album that you have
been longing for. Also, peruse treasured
family albums during the storm. Enjoying
the memories of better times can give you
peace of mind. Play cards. Do puzzles.
Keep your brain busy.
So, youve decided to STAY. All of us at
CBS12 will be STAYing too. And well
all make it through this hurricane
season, together.

PROTECT YOUR

HOM E
SUZANNE
BOYD

CBS12 ANCHOR

Anchor Your Roof

Secure Your Property

Brace Your Entryway

and Garage Door

Keep the Water Out

Homes with gabled roofs are more likely

to be damaged in a hurricane. Brace all
gable-end frames with horizontal and
vertical wood beams. If you dont already
have hurricane tie-downs, you should install
straps to fasten your roof to the frame.

French doors and double doors are

especially vulnerable in high winds. Make
sure your door hardware is in good
condition. Add deadbolts to the top and
bottom of each section.
Protect your garage door with hurricane
panels or brace the door from the inside
with wood studs drilled in lengthwise.

Cover Your Windows

If you want your house to have a good

chance of surviving a hurricane, you need
to protect every opening: windows, doors,
garages, even your roof.

PROTECT

YOUR PET
Eric
Roby

CBS12 ANCHOR

Permanent storm shutters provide the

best protection in a hurricane. If you dont
have shutters, experts recommend using
5/8 inch plywood cut to fit your windows,
allowing a 4-inch overlap on each side.
The plywood must attach firmly, so use 2
1/2 inch bolts and screws drilled 12 -18
inches apart.

BEFORE THE DISASTER

M
 ake sure that your pets are current on
their vaccinations. Pet shelters require
proof of vaccines.
H
 ave a current photograph in case they
become lost.
Keep a collar with identification on your pet and
have a leash on hand to control them.
H
 ave a properly-sized pet carrier for
each animal.
Plan your evacuation strategy. Know well
ahead of the storm which shelters or hotels
accept pets.

DURING THE DISASTER

Animals brought to a pet shelter are

required to have: Proper identification collar
and rabies tag, proper identification on all
belongings, a carrier or cage, a leash, an
ample supply of food, water and food bowls,
any necessary medications, specific care
instructions and newspapers or trash bags for
clean-up.

You want to get rid of or secure anything

that can turn into a windborne missile. Tie
down your shed, swing set or other large
items in your yard. Bring your grill and
patio furniture inside. Trim your trees and
coconuts. Disconnect and remove your
satellite dish. Clear clogged rain gutters.

Seal your doorways with an expanding

urethane foam. Apply the foam to the
edges of the door frame from the ground
to about 3 feet above the ground. Tape a
sheet of plastic to the wall and across the
doorway. Attach the plastic a few feet up
the doorway and spread it away from the
door along the ground. Stack 3 rows of
sandbags on top of the plastic against
the door.

Gather Important
Documents
Gather family photos and
important papers, including insurance documents.
Put them in a water-proof
container or take them with
you if you have to evacuate.

Bring pets indoors well in

advance of a storm - reassure
them and remain calm.
Pet shelters will be filled on a first
come, first served basis. Call
ahead and determine availability.

AFTER THE DISASTER

Walk pets on a leash until they become

re-oriented to their home. Often familiar scents
and landmarks may be altered and pets could
easily be confused and become lost. Also,
downed power lines, reptiles brought in with
high water and debris can all pose a threat for
animals after a disaster.
If pets cannot be found after a disaster,
contact the local animal control office to find
out where lost animals can be recovered.
Bring along a picture of your pet if possible.
After a disaster animals can become
aggressive or defensive - monitor
their behavior.

STORmTRAC
RADAR
Jeff
Berardelli

CBS12 STORMTRAC METEOROLOGIST

The CBS12 StormTrac Radar system

broadcasts in full High Definition. This
is a powerful forecasting tool. Our radar
utilizes the latest scans from National
Weather Service Radars throughout the
state of Florida. CBS12 StormTrac Radar
will then analyze, filter and instantly
interpret this data in easy to understand
graphics for you.
We can show you the inner workings of a
storm in 3 dimensional real time displays.
X-Vision tilts the storm to give you a vertical profile of the most intense rain shafts
and winds. We can rotate it to show the
sides and back of the thunderstorm!
The Cell Path, Meso Path and Funnel Path
features enable us to instantly pinpoint a
storm to display its intensity. Cell Path will
tell you how soon the storm is expected
over your house. Meso Path will tell you if
theres rotation in a cell. Funnel path gives
the probability of a tornado within the
storm and how bad that tornado will be.
The lightning feature can be configured to
give you the amount of lightning strikes.
Well color code the lightning strikes to tell
you how old they are. CBS12 StormTrac
Radar sniffs out hail and tells you how
large the hailstones are.
Hurricanes often produce flooding rains.
CBS12 StormTrac Radar ID Tool estimates
how much rain has fallen, alerting you to
possible areas of flooding. This can be
done through the scope feature. With the
click of a button asmall circle (scope) can
be moved over the radar display to show
you the rainfall totals right on top.

and vents that could allow CO to enter your

home. Make sure permanent generators
arent located too close to your home. CO
will rise and seep into your house through
the roof.
CBS12 StormTrac Radar utilizes a high
resolution computer model called Super
Microcast. This computer model will be
able to predict our small pop-up Florida
thunderstorms with amazing accuracy.
We can configure this computer model to
forecast the rain and wind in an approaching hurricane or tropical storm with the
same precision.
We can show you all of this right at the
weather wall through dynamic mapping
and whats called Magic Tracking. Well
use our hand to grab the map, move it,
zoom in and out and show you all the
great features of the CBS12 StormTrac
Radar. Hurricane season can be a little
frightening for all of us. Those daily thunderstorms can wreak havoc during the
summer too. Trust the most experienced

CBS12 This Morning

Here are some tips from the Consumer
Product Safety Commission. Follow these
tips to avoid CO poisoning:
Never use a generator inside homes,
garages, or other enclosed spaces, even
when the area is well ventilated with a fans,
open doors and windows. Dangerous and
possibly deadly levels of carbon monoxide
can build up and linger for hours, even after
you turn off your generator.
Follow the instructions that come with your
generator. Place your generator outdoors
and far away from doors, windows, soffits

CBS12 NEWS / CBS12.com

Install CO alarms in your home, according to

the manufacturers instructions. CO alarms
should be certified to the requirements of the
latest safety standards (UL2034, IAS 6-96,
or CSA 6.19.01). Test batteries monthly.
And if your CO monitor plugs into the
wall make sure it has a battery back-up.
Immediately get as much fresh air as
you can if you start to feel dizzy or weak.
First responders say you dont have much
time at all before the dizziness and weak
feelings turn into CO sickness, and
even death.
The other danger we often see covering post
hurricane generator mishaps are incidents
caused by electrical problems. Some
generators are hard wired into the electrical
systems of homes, and if not installed by a
professional, houses that made it through
the storm, might not make it much longer.
Run the generator under an open, canopylike structure on a dry surface where water
cannot reach. Dry your hands before you
touch a generator.
Use only heavy-duty extension cords
specifically designed for outdoor use. Make
sure the wattage rating for each cord
exceeds the wattage of all appliances
connected to it. And make sure each cord
is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has
all three prongs.
Never try to power your home by plugging
the generator into a wall outlet. Its called
backfeeding. This creates an electrocution
risk to neighbors and utility workers. It also
bypasses your circuit protection.
While covering hurricanes and the aftermath
weve also seen potential problems with fire
hazards, and most of the problems deal with
storing gas or other fuels for your generator.
Make sure you store any gas, and other
fuels outside in containers specifically
designed to carry those liquids. Make sure
you dont store them in a water heater or
a garage.
