PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOSTON/NORTON MA
900 AM EDT FRI JUL 20 2018
..DAY 5 OF HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE (NWS) BOSTON, MA HAS DECLARED JULY 16TH
THROUGH JULY 20TH AS HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS WEEK. EACH DAY THIS WEEK
WE WILL HIGHLIGHT A DIFFERENT PREPAREDNESS TOPIC.
IF YOU PLAN TO RIDE OUT A HURRICANE IN YOUR HOME, MAKE SURE IT IS IN
GOOD REPAIR AND UP TO LOCAL HURRICANE BUILDING CODE SPECIFICATIONS.
HAVE THE PROPER PLYWOOD, STEEL OR ALUMINUM PANELS TO BOARD UP THE
WINDOWS AND DOORS. REMEMBER, THE GARAGE DOOR IS THE MOST VULNERABLE
PART OF THE HOME, SO IT MUST BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND HIGH WINDS.
THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN DO AROUND YOUR HOME TO HELP PROTECT IT FROM
THE STRONG WINDS THAT COME WITH HURRICANES. WELL AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING STORM, TRIM TREES ON YOUR PROPERTY, SHOP FOR APPROVED
WINDOW COVERINGS, COLLECT LOOSE OUTDOOR ITEMS, SECURE ALL DOORS ON
YOUR PROPERTY AND FINE A SAFE LOCATION FOR YOUR VEHICLE.
