Hurricane Season is Quickly approaching-Do you have a Disaster Plan?

We have many families that have moved into the Tampa Bay area and they may be unaware that, "Hurricane Season", runs from 6/1 thru 11/30.

Train to know how to prepare yourself, your family, your neighbors and your friends. https://www.ready.gov/cert - Search by zip code for a CERT class and CERT team near you.

We have been very lucky here in Tampa Bay, and do not know Mother Natures true agenda for this upcoming hurricane season. With many families leaving their hometowns and settling within Brandon, Temple Terrace and the surrounding communities, it is important to know how to prepare, where the evacuation routes are and what to bring in the event you have to evacuate. Do you have a furry friend and do you know what shelters accept pets. Do you have a family member that is elderly or needs medical assistance, and therefore do you know where the special needs shelters are located throughout Hillsborough?
