Hurricane Preparation Tips

Citizens encouraged to start preparing

WESLACO--- With the threat of Dolly upon us, citizens are being encouraged to get prepared.

One of the first things to keep in mind is do not get alarmed, but do get prepared.

Create and discuss a disaster plan; make sure everyone knows what to do if severe weather strikes.

Also prepare an emergency kit with things like clothing, food, flashlights, and cash.

Citizens should also look into re-enforcing windows, doors, and roof so they can withstand strong winds. Local lumber supply stores tell NEWSCHANNEL 5 at this time they still have plenty of supplies, but people need to act now.

Most importantly, residents need to stay updated and know where the storm is and where it is headed.
