									<p>With hurricane season in full swing, we’re handing you helpful tips to keep you safe and prepared before <em>and</em> after a storm hits.</p>
<p><strong>First notification of a developing storm</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stay informed with the latest updates</strong> from county and city officials. Listen to local radio and television reports. Check the <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/">National Hurricane Center</a> site regularly.</li>
<li><strong>Be prepared.</strong> Stock up on <a href="http://emergency.cdc.gov/disasters/hurricanes/supplies.asp">supplies</a> for your home and car, keep emergency phone numbers in multiple places, and ensure everyone in the family knows the warning signs and what to expect.</li>
<li><strong>Make a plan</strong> for finding shelter where you are or for an <a href="http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/traffic/safety/weather/hurricane.html">evacuation</a>, depending on the advice from local officials.</li>
<li>Be familiar with <strong>how to use a fire extinguisher</strong>. The<a href="http://www.fire-extinguisher101.com/using.html"> PASS</a> acronym is very helpful.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>After a storm</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Let family and friends know you are safe.</li>
<li>Continue monitoring updates and instructions from local authorities.</li>
<li>If electrical appliances got wet, wait for an electrician to check the device before using it.</li>
<li>Avoid drinking or preparing food with tap water until you are sure it’s not contaminated.</li>
<li>Keep away from floodwater and flooded roads. Drive around floodwater and not through it.</li>
<li>Remember that <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/emergency/extreme-weather/floods-standingwater.html">flood and standing waters present health risks</a>.</li>
<li>Stay away from downed power lines and dangerous materials.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.greenmountainenergy.com/for-customers/contact-my-utility/">Report power outages</a> in your area to your local Transmission and Distribution Service Provider.</li>
