What is Your Hurricane Risk?
- View this U.S. map showing the frequency of hurricane and tropical storm activity
- Be aware that hurricane season is June-November
- Be prepared for flooding as well as damaging high winds
Plan for Evacuation or Staying Put
Have the Emergency Essentials Handy
- Have an emergency supply kit accessible and containing, at minimum:
- Food and water
- Flashlight
- Battery-powered or hand-crank NOAA Weather Radio
- Extra batteries
- First aid kit
- Medications
- Copies of vital personal and business documents and contacts
- Extra cash
What is Your Business Insurance Coverage?
- Most homeowners or renters insurance policies cover little to none of your artwork, supplies, tools, and other art business assets
- Even if you have business insurance, a review of the coverage is an important part of being ready for a disaster
- Homeowners, renters, and business insurance policies exclude losses from floods and earthquakes. Consider flood insurance as part of a hurricane ready plan
Protect Your Assets and Plan for Resilience
- Get your art and business inventory records in order
- Keep your artwork as well as your analog and digital business records safe
- Be ready to bounce back from a disaster
A Hurricane-Strong Studio
Windows
Permanent storm shutters are best 
2nd Best Option: Cut 5/8” sheets of marine plywood to fit your windows when needed 
Tape does not prevent windows from breaking
Roof
Install straps or additional clips to secure your roof 
Trees + Shrubs
Keep trees & shrubs close to house well-trimmed
Remove dead & hanging wood
Gutters + Downspouts
Clear clogs
Fix loose gutters & downspouts
