Delmarva preps for hurricane season

Tuesday morning, Delmarva Power and The Red Cross held conferences with local officials on hurricane prep. Red Cross officials recommend prepping a kit that includes non-perishable food,  water enough for three days per person, a flash light, any medications, and a first aid kit. Red Cross officials also  suggest creating an evacuation plan.

Theresa Young, the Executive Director at  Delmarva Chapter Red Cross says, “Have a sit down conversation at least once a year where you talk about how your family is going to be reconnected if you’re going to be in different areas. How you’re going to evacuate to your place.”

Red Cross officials also recommend that if you have to evacuate get in touch with a long distance emergency contact to let them know you’re safe.
