Storm surge can cause major damage to your home and pose a significant threat for drownings - making it one of the greatest threats to life and property from a hurricane. Listen to local officials and evacuate immediately if told to do so. If you’re not in an evacuation zone, be sure to stay away from floodwaters and never drive through water-covered roads. Remember, Turn Around Don’t Drown! weather.gov/safety/flood-turn-around-dont-drown #FloodSafety

Don't wait for a Tropical Storm or Hurricane Warning to secure your boat. By then it's too late to safely work on a dock. Listen to weather forecasts and plan ahead. Haul out your boat or add additional lines as soon as a tropical storm or hurricane watch is issued. This will typically give you 48 hours before the anticipated onset of storm winds and will allow you to safely secure your boat. weather.gov/safety/safeboating-before

Storm Surge is the abnormal rise of water generated by a storm’s winds. This hazard is historically the leading cause of deaths in the United States during storms. The destructive power of storm surge and large battering waves can result in a large loss of life and destruction along the coast. Storm surge can travel several miles inland, especially along bays, rivers, and estuaries.

A tropical system does not have to be hurricane strength to be deadly. Tropical storms can produce strong winds, as well as heavy rainfall, which can lead to flooding. Don’t let your guard down when there’s a tropical storm watch. For more information about tropical storms and hurricanes, visit weather.gov/hurricanesafety #SummerSafety
