The Allergy Store is a force of nature!

 

The Allergy Store is joining thousands around the country who are pledging to be a “Force of Nature” and taking action to prepare for the potential negative impacts of hurricanes and tropical storms. Hurricane season begins June 1 and extends through November 30, and as we saw last year with Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, severe tropical weather can impact coastal and inland areas alike. People that live in the plains and midwestern states have severe thunderstorms and tornadoes and should also pledge to be a Force of Nature!

Severe weather can often disrupt life through evacuations, prolonged power outages,and flooding.

With these risks in mind, we ask that you join us in pledging to be prepared for storm season by:

1. Knowing your risk: The first step to Being a Force of Nature is to understand how severe weather can affect where you live and work, and how the weather could impact you and your family. Check the weather forecast regularly and sign up for local alerts from emergency management officials and obtain a NOAA Weather Radio.

2. Taking action: Actions can be small, simple, and quick. Pledge to develop an emergency plan based on your local weather hazards, and practice how and where you will evacuate if instructed by your emergency management officials. Post your plan in your home where everyone can see it as a reminder. Learn how to strengthen your home and business against storms.

3. Being an example: Once you have taken action and pledged (or if you already have), share your story with your family and friends.

Join us today and pledge to prepare for all severe weather during National Hurricane Preparedness Week.
