When a hurricane has formed, the National Weather Service will issue a hurricane watchmeaning that
there is a possibility of a hurricane within the next 48 hours. This allows time for you and your family to
stock up on any emergency supplies, plans, and kits. You should also gather up any important documents
at this time as well. Pets and other essential items should also be packed up and ready in case of any
evacuation orders. Subsequently, a hurricane warning will then be issued if conditions have not subsided
meaning that it may occur within the next 36 hours instead. Once a hurricane hits land, heavy rains along
with storm surges also have a relatively high possibility for occurrence. Make sure that you and your
