With June comes the beginning of hurricane season. This is a scary thought for some of us who are still rebuilding or recuperating from the damage caused by last year's storms, including Maria, Irma and Harvey. All were powerful storms last year, and with any luck, it would be nice to have a break from major storms. But it might also be a good time to remind ourselves how to prepare and take in any special considerations you might need to plan for during hurricane season.
When undergoing cancer treatment, I was fortunate that I was not placed in the situation of also having find a special needs shelter or leave town, as we had a mild hurricane season that year. But that was not the case in 2017. While any storm-related evacuations are an inconvenience, I encourage those who are entering hurricane season to heed warnings seriously and most importantly to plan now for what actions you will take.
