Show Notes

Today's episode is actually the second video lesson in our new course: Hurricane Plan 101 - The Big Question - To Stay or Get-Away.

As the title of the course says, it is about empowering you with tools, data, and resources so that you can make the best possible decision about where you will ride our a tropical storm or hurricane, if it hits your area.

In this lesson, I give examples of the impact of storm surge, and how scientific models are used to create hurricane evacuation zones. We look at some example maps and talk about the way that authorities use these to guide the evacuation decisions for people living in low, coastal areas.

We will be following up with episodes based on the other lessons over the coming days.

I hope you will come to the HunkerDownGuide.com website and sign up for this FREE course https://www.hunkerdownguide.com/courses. It is based on the chapter in my book "Day Before Disaster" - called Step 1 - Answer the Big Question - To Stay Or Get-Away https://www.hunkerdownguide.com/book/
