Your car is a key to your safety if you need to evacuate from a hurricane or other disaster.  Here are some tips for what to do with your automobile.

• Make sure you maintain a full tank of gas in your car
• You should fill the tank as soon as a Tropical Storm forms near our coast and keep it full
• Safest place for your vehicle is in a garage or carport
• Park your car as close to your residence as possible and away from power lines or trees
• Make sure your tires are fully inflated and the battery is charged. You may need your car radio for vital information
• Keep a small hurricane kit as a back-up to your hurricane plan.
