Road Safety Tips

Hurricane Preparedness: Road Safety Tips

You should refrain from being on the road during storms and hurricanes, but if you must be out it's essential to stay safe on the roads. Here are some important tips to keep in mind:

Stay Vigilant:

• If you must be out, remain alert and adapt your driving to the current road conditions.
• Check local weather conditions before heading out.

Falling Rocks:

• Drive slowly and watch for warning signs indicating potential rockfalls.
• If you see debris on the road, slow down and proceed with caution.

Mudslides and Fast-Moving Water:

• Avoid driving through areas prone to mudslides or flooding.
• If you encounter fast-moving water, be extremely cautious; just a few inches of water can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.

General Safety Tips:

• Keep your headlights on to increase visibility.
• Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
• Have an emergency kit in your car, including a flashlight, first-aid supplies, and basic tools.

Remember, your safety is paramount. Stay informed, stay alert, and stay safe on the roads during hurricane season.
