LETTER FROM
STEVE JERVE
THANKS FOR picking up the Storm Team 8 2016 Hurricane Guide.
It’s the time of year when all of us start looking toward the tropics and wondering what this
hurricane season has in store.
That is why it is so important to equip and prepare yourself with the most recent and best possible
information – the kind of information you’ll find in this guide.
For the most part, all of us who live in Central Florida have been lucky the past couple of years.
In addition to this guide, Storm Team 8 will keep you informed on TV, on WFLA.com and through
social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
Turn to us before, during and after a hurricane, tropical storm or severe weather threatens. But
no matter what is predicted, it only takes one storm. That impact could change your life forever
if you and your family are not prepared. It’s vital to have a survival kit and most importantly, stay
informed.
Thanks again for picking up the Storm Team 8 2016 Hurricane Guide. And remember: The idea is
to get ready and stay ready, whether the big storms threaten us this season or not.

ACCURACY. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.
Check the maps inside this guide to see which evacuation zone
you live in. This will determine when and if you need to evacuate
during a storm. The Evacuation Levels (A,B,C,D and E) are based
on the potential for storm surge flooding for each category of
storm (1,2,3,4 and 5). Remember: Most mobile home residents
must evacuate, regardless of location. You should plan now
where to evacuate your family. Make arrangements to stay with
friends or relatives who live in a hurricane-safe zone. Have ready
food, water and must-have supplies (see page 10). If you evacuate
to an inland hotel, ask about special hurricane policies. Most
importantly, make sure your destination is NOT in an evacuation
zone.
IF YOU MUST EVACUATE
Do not panic if an evacuation order is given. Make sure you give
yourself enough time to leave before the weather turns bad. DO
NOT take chances with your life.
•Take your must-have supplies and important papers, including
your driver’s license and insurance policies.
•Take irreplaceable items such as photos or keepsakes.
•Let friends and relatives know where you are going.
•Turn off your electricity, water and gas if officials tell you to
do so.
•Lock windows and doors.
IF YOU DO NOT EVACUATE
LEAVING THE AREA
Leave as early as possible. Have an alternate route planned.
If flying, prepare for airport closings and/or canceled flights.
Remember, storms can change direction quickly and without
warning, so be careful and avoid driving directly into a storm’s
new path. Tune to our Radio Partners (listed on page 2 of this
guide) to stay informed on traffic conditions.
PUBLIC SHELTERS
specific shelter has opened. Expect shelters to be crowded and
uncomfortable.
Be sure to bring:
•Pillows and blankets or sleeping bag
•Special dietary foods, water and prescription medicines
•A change of clothes and personal hygiene items
•Flashlight, radio and extra batteries
•Infant necessities and quiet toys for children
•Important papers
Note: Alcohol and firearms are not allowed; most shelters will
not allow pets.
An evacuation shelter should be your last resort. Keep in mind,
different shelters may open at different times, depending on size
and intensity of a storm. Do not go until an official announces a
Make sure windows are protected and home is secured. Clean
containers for drinking water and your bathtub for storing clean
water. Plan on three gallons per person, per day for all uses. Offer
your home to friends or relatives who need to evacuate. Have
at least a two-week supply of nonperishable foods, including a
nonelectric can opener and corded nonelectric phone.
BUSINESS OWNERS
Every business also should have a Disaster Plan. For a guide,
contact your local emergency management agency, Chamber
of Commerce or go to www.sba.gov/content/disaster-planning.

PROTECT
YOURSELF
DURING THE
STORM
• Stay indoors,
away
from
windows, skylights
and glass doors,
until the storm has
officially passed.
STEVE
Be careful; it might
JERVE
appear the storm is
over, but you may actually be in the eye of
the hurricane. It may seem calm, but the
weather could deteriorate quickly. The calm
may only last 10-20 minutes.
•If you lose power News Channel 8 weather
coverage and news updates are available on
your smart phone or tablet. Download our
Weather Max and WFLA News app for free
right now.
•Do not use candles or kerosene lamps.
•Find a safe-room in your home, usually an
interior, windowless reinforced room such
as a closet or bathroom on the lower floor.
•Stay in your safe-room even if you hear
breaking glass. Do not expose yourself to
the hurricane’s winds.
•If your house starts to break apart, cover
yourself with a mattress and pillows. If your
safe-room has a bathtub, get in the tub under
a mattress.
•Use the phone for urgent calls only. Don’t
use the phone if you hear thunder.
•If you are in a very tall building, avoid the top
floors as wind speeds are stronger the higher
you go. Go to a safe-room.
•If flooding threatens your home, turn off
electricity at the main breaker.
•If you lose power, turn off major appliances,
such as the air conditioner and water heater
to reduce damage from surge when power
is restored.
AFTER THE STORM
Be patient. It may take awhile for emergency
crews to reach your neighborhood. Restoring
utilities could take several weeks. Use extreme
caution. There may be dangerous situations
all around you.
•If your house is damaged, do not return until
it has been officially inspected.
•Find the fire extinguisher before turning on
the power.
•Avoid all downed power lines and water
puddles.
•Report downed or sparking power lines,
broken gas lines and water mains.
•Always supervise children.
•Avoid piling debris near power poles. This
may hinder repairs.
•Avoid driving because of debris and road
blockage.
•Open windows and doors to ventilate your
home.
•If flooding has occurred, have an inspection
before turning on the breaker.
•Let your out-of-town emergency contact
know you are alright.
•Have valid ID. It may be required to reenter
your neighborhood.
•Don’t sightsee, especially at night.
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
You may be eager to remove large trees or
other debris after a hurricane hits. But your
PROTECT YOUR PETS
If conditions during a storm are not safe for
you, then they’re not safe for your pets either.
Include your pets in your hurricane plan. Keep
in mind:
•Service animals are the ONLY pets allowed
at most public shelters.
•Most motels and hotels will allow smaller
pets (cats, small dogs, etc.) for an additional
fee or deposit but be sure to ask before you
go.
•I f you evacuate to a shelter, make
arrangements early to board your pet
at a kennel or boarding service outside
hurricane evacuation zones. Don’t wait
until the last minute. Space will be limited,
and standard boarding fees will apply.
•Regardless of where you evacuate, be
sure your pet is clearly identified with a
current license and rabies tag on their
collar. You may consider having your pet
micro-chipped.
2016
•Try to keep your schedule as normal as
possible.
•Make sure their shots are up to date. You
may need proof of vaccinations.
•Pet stores can help you find shelter for
exotic pets.
Put together a Supply Kit including:
•A pet carrier or collapsible cage
(appropriate for your pet)
•Pet food, bottled water and any
medications, enough for at least
one week (don’t forget bowls, a
manual can opener and treats)
•Proof of up-to-date vaccinations
•Current photo of you with your
pet (as proof of ownership)
•Cat litter, liners and pan
•Newspaper and paper towels for clean up
•Small trash bags for waste
•Muzzle (if necessary)
•Toys and other comfort items
•First aid kit
•Mark all your pets’ belongings
with a water-proof marker.
ACCURACY. ANYTIME. ANYWHERE.
underground utilities could pose a real danger.
More and more utilities are buried underground
and some aren’t buried as deep as you may think.
The result can be costly, even deadly. Before you
dig, call 811 if you don’t know where underground
utilities are located on your property. Or go to
www.sunshine811.com for more information.
FOOD AND WATER SAFETY
•If power goes out, avoid opening refrigerators
and freezers to keep items from spoiling and/
or thawing.
•Food in a refrigerator is safe if power is out
for only a few hours.
•If the temperature inside exceeds 40°F for
more than two hours, perishable foods are
unsafe to eat. (Get a small thermometer to
keep inside your refrigerator.)
•If there are ice crystals on freezer items, the
food can safely be refrozen.
•If you’re unsure whether an item has spoiled,
throw it away.
•Do not drink tap water until officials have
announced it is safe.
•Commercially bottled water is good
indefinitely, regardless of expiration date.
•Water you’ve bottled yourself will only be
good for about a week at room temperature
(two weeks in the refrigerator).
TO STERILIZE WATER:
1. Boil for at least one minute, OR
2. Add 12 drops of a 2% tincture of iodine per gallon, OR
3. Add 8 drops unscented household bleach
(with Hypochlorite as the only active
ingredient) per gallon, OR
4. Use water purification tablets.
After the storm, The
Humane Society and
other animal services
can help you find a
lost pet or locate the
owner of a pet you
find. Watch your pet
carefully outdoors.
Familiar scents and
landmarks may change,
and your pet could
easily get confused.
Downed power lines,
contaminated food
and water are also real
dangers. Remember,
pets are part of the
family; don’t put
them at risk. Check
your county map
in this guide
for a list of pet
friendly shelters.

crawl space with a
SPANN
flashlight. You may
feel more comfortable with an experienced
and licensed inspector, architect, engineer or
contractor inspecting your home. Whatever
choice you make, take time to do this well
before the storm threatens.
To withstand the forces of wind associated
with severe weather, remember your ABC’s:
ANCHOR YOUR ROOF
BRACE ENTRY AND GARAGE DOORS
COVER YOUR WINDOWS
ANCHOR YOUR ROOF
If your roof was built before 1994 and is
gabled, brace all gable-end framing with
horizontal and vertical beams. Also, make
sure that there is wood sheathing (planks or
plywood) behind the stucco of the triangular
gable-end walls.
Using a caulking gun, apply a 1/4 inch bead of
APA AFG-01 certified wood adhesive along an
intersection of the roof deck and roof support
element (rafter or truss chord) on both sides
of the beam. This technique can increase the
wind uplift resistance by up to three times,
but should not be used if you are going to
re-roof in the near future.

BRACE YOUR ENTRY AND
AAND
GARAGE DOORS
Entry doors are easily damaged by high
winds. Bolt all doors with foot and head bolts
with a minimum one-inch bolt throw length.
FOAM
a hurricane resistant one. Approximately 80
percent of residential hurricane wind damage
starts with wind entry through garage doors.
To seal a doorway, apply
expanding urethane foam to
the outer edges where the door
meets the frame, up to two or
three feet above the ground
COVER YOUR WINDOWS
Protecting your windows is perhaps one of
the most important factors in securing your
home or office from total destruction in a
hurricane or severe storm.
Make sure all doors and windows are properly
caulked and/or weather stripped. Replace
gravel/rock landscaping material with fire
treated, shredded bark to reduce damage.
Cover all windows and glass doors with
securely fastened, impact-resistant shutters
or other approved window protection
systems with proper mounting fixtures or
replace them with impact resistant laminated
window and door systems, if feasible. Hint:
You don’t have to use the same system on
every window. Reference: www.flash.org.
AFTER A HURRICANE
•Don’t dump debris in storm drains.
•Make temporary repairs to protect your
home from further damage.
•Cover any holes with plywood and use
heavy plastic on broken windows.
•If you can’t make repairs yourself, check
contractor’s references with your insurance
agent, Chamber of Commerce or Better
Business Bureau.
•If you rebuild, get an estimate first. Discuss
payment terms and keep any receipts. You
need enough insurance to cover current
construction costs and you may be
required to meet new building standards.
Your insurance company may be able to
provide assistance for these additional
costs.
•If you can’t live in your home after
a hurricane, you may be entitled to
additional assistance for hotel bills, meals
and other living expenses. This coverage
is NOT available if damage is caused by
flooding or storm surge.
Garage doors should be able to withstand
hurricane wind loads and the impacts of
flying debris. If yours does not, replace with
SANDBAGS
Use sandbags to anchor a sheet
of plastic to protect a doorway.
1. Tape plastic to the wall
and across the doorway,
attaching a few feet up the
wall and spreading away from
the foundation on the ground.
2. Place the first row of
sandbags on the plastic on
the ground.
3. Stack on the second row,
covering gaps in the bottom
level of bags.
4. Stack the third row of
sandbags on top of the
second row, in line with the
first row.

PLANNING FOR
PHARMACEUTICALS
For many people, medication isn’t a luxury – it’s
a necessity. Running out could lead to other
health complications or even send them to
the hospital. That’s why it’s important to have
an adequate supply of medicine available,
especially during hurricane season.
If a hurricane hits and your regular pharmacy
isn’t open, bring your prescription bottle
to another pharmacy. The staff will use
the information on the label to refill your
medication. Also remember to bring your
insurance card.
Register now with your county Office of Emergency
Management if you have special medical needs. Bring
at least three days of medical supplies you will need
including: special food, water, prescriptions, nebulizers,
syringes, sterile swabs and oxygen equipment. Important:
Special needs shelters do not provide hands-on medical
care so you may want to bring a caregiver with you. You
may need to keep back-up medical items on hand such
as a battery for ventilator and oxygen cylinders (48-hour
supply).
If you require respirators or other electric-dependent medical equipment, you
should make prior medical arrangements with your physician. You should also
register with your power company.
If you require oxygen or other medical supplies, check with your vendor about
emergency plans.
A physician must be notified if you or someone you know needs hospitalization.
Keep in mind there are a limited number of resources available during disasters
such as hurricanes.
Even if you’re forced to evacuate, you can still
refill your prescriptions. Try a new pharmacy
wherever you decide to evacuate. They may
be able to access your prescription records
electronically and help you with emergency
needs. Ordering refills online or over the phone
is also a good idea for fast service.
But the best advice is: Never wait until the last
minute to refill your medicine. It’s the only way
to ensure you continue taking your medication
as your doctor prescribed.
CONSUMER
PROTECTION
For home health care and homebound patients, inform your health care provider
where you will be during a hurricane and ask about their emergency plans.
Remember to take medications, written instructions regarding your care, special
equipment and bedding with you if you evacuate.
ADVICE FOR OLDER ADULTS
Those who live alone, or are without the support of family or friends, must take
special precautions in the event of an emergency situation. People who are frail
or disabled (either mentally or physically) may need special assistance from family
members, friends or social service agencies. Older adults who are also caregivers
may require outside assistance. Excessive stress and anxiety can contribute to
increased episodes of illness- particularly for persons with heart disease and other
illnesses. If an older adult lives in a nursing home, assisted living facility or boarding
home, the administrator should be contacted to learn about the disaster plan.
TRANSPORTATION
If you do not have transportation or are unable to drive, assistance may be available.
Each local county offers some type of help to make sure you can get out of the
storm’s path. Check with your county’s Office of Emergency Management (phone
numbers are on the map pages of this guide) to find detailed information about
routes to assist you in the event of an evacuation.
2016
INFORMATION
It’s always a good idea to order prescription
refills 5-7 days before your medicine will run
out.

Repairing your
home after a
disaster can be very
stressful. Here are
a few ways to help
protect yourself
from unlicensed
contractors and con
artists:
•Be extremely cautious of anyone coming to
your home uninvited and offering to do home
repairs.
•Obtain a written estimate or contract.
•Never pay with cash.
•Be sure to note an address, telephone number
and license numbers.
•Ask for references and check them out.
•Insist on start and completion dates in the
contract, and do not pay the final balance until
the work is completed to your satisfaction.
•If you suspect insurance fraud, call the Florida
Department of Financial Services Consumer
Help Line at 1-877-693-5326 or visit www.
myfloridacfo.com/fraud. If you suspect you’ve
encountered scammers, call the Attorney
General’s office or visit myfloridalegal.com.
STACIE
SCHAIBLE
A good
homeowner’s
(or renter’s)
insurance
policy is critical.
Discuss the
following with
your insurance
representative:
•Most homes in Florida have a special
deductible for hurricane damage. Ask
about your policy and potential outof-pocket cost.
•Prepare a complete home inventory
with photos. Videotape if possible and
store in a safe-deposit box.
•Does your policy cover the actual
cash value (replacement cost, less
depreciation) or replacement costs?
•Do you need insurance riders on
special items?
•Is a windstorm insurance policy
required?
•Do you need flood insurance?
FLOOD INSURANCE
•Standard homeowner’s policies do not
cover flood damage, including storm
surge, from a hurricane.
•Flood insurance is available to
all residents in all participating
communities. There is usually a 30day waiting period.
•If more than half of your home is
damaged and is not built to current
standards, it will have to be elevated
and retrofitted.
•Permits for any type of construction
or reconstruction in the floodplain is
required.
FILING A CLAIM
•Notify your insurance agent as soon as
possible and have your policy number
on hand.
•Ask when you can expect an adjustor
to visit your home.
•Present photos and inventory of
damaged items, including their age
and value.
•Have any receipts and estimates on
hand.
•Be patient. Cases are expedited based
on severity or hardship.
KEITH
CATE
One of the most
impor tant things
to secure during a
hurricane—and the
m o s t ov e r l o o k e d
—is your important
do c u me nt s. He re
are a few things to
remember:
•Store originals in a safe-deposit box at a bank.
•Choose a bank some distance from your home
to reduce the risk of both places suffering the
same disaster.
•Get a listing of all of your bank’s locations,
addresses and phone numbers.
•Copy all the documents in the safe-deposit
box and place them in an evacuation box
(preferably a fire-proof box).
•Store your evacuation box some place you
can get to easily. Take it with you if you
evacuate.
•Update documents in both boxes once or
twice a year.
•Write instructions concerning health and
financial decisions for your family in the
event you become incapacitated.
•If you own a home, consider opening a home
equity line of credit so emergency funds will
be available.
FOR EVACUATION BOX ONLY:
•Safe-deposit box information (location,
contents and key)
•Cash, a few rolls of quarters and traveler’s
checks
SAFE-DEPOSIT BOX OR
EVACUATION BOX:
•Photocopy of driver’s license
•Birth, Death and Marriage certificates
•Social Security card
•Passport
•Will and living will
•Mortgage/property deeds
•Adoption papers
•Military records
•Car titles
•Trust documents
•Tax return(s)
•Written instructions for family members
•List of emergency contacts, (family, friends,
lawyer, financial advisors, etc.)
•Personal property inventory (item description,
serial number, receipt and photograph or
video)
OTHER DOCUMENTS TO
CONSIDER:
•Home improvement records /receipts
•Warranties and receipts for major
purchases
•Appraisals of jewelry, collectibles, artwork,
etc.
•Credit card records
•Retirement account records
•Recent checking, savings and investment
account statements
•Rental agreement and/or lease
•Recent pay stub and employee benefits
information
•Backup disks of critical computerized
information
•Negatives of irreplaceable personal
photographs (with protective plastic
sleeves)
•Insurance policies (life, auto, homeowners,
renters, etc.)
•Copies of health insurance information
(insurance card, doctor’s name and number,
prescriptions, allergies and immunizations)
FLOOD SAFETY
•Avoid flooded areas, high velocity flow areas, and areas subject to sudden flooding. Do not
attempt to cross flowing streams.
•Roads may not be intact under flood waters and the depth of the water is not always obvious.
Turn around and go another way.
•If the vehicle stalls, leave it and seek higher ground. Rising water may engulf the vehicle;
sweeping it away.
•Use caution at night when it is more difficult to recognize flood dangers.
•Keep children away from high water, storm drains and viaducts.
•Throw out any food that came in contact with flood waters.
•Use flashlights (not lanterns, torches or matches) to examine buildings. Flammables may be
inside.
FIND OUT IF YOU’RE IN A FLOOD ZONE
Flood maps are usually kept on file at your local county courthouse, municipal office or library.

GENERATOR
SAFETY
Before buying a generator,
consider the following:
•What appliances will you run?
•Do you need a portable or
stationary generator?
•Do you need multiple outlets or
multiple types of outlets?
Other tips to consider:
•Never run a generator indoors
OR in your garage. Find a wellventilated area away from your
home.
•Do not connect your generator
directly to your home’s wiring.
•Always use heavy-duty, indoor/
outdoor rated extension cords
to connect to the generator.
•Do not attempt to refuel your
generator while it is running.
Turn off all appliances
connected to the generator,
then turn off the generator.
Let it cool before you attempt
to refuel.
•R e a d a n d f o l l ow t h e

capabilities. Don’t try to run
more appliances than your
generator can handle.
•Check the oil every time you
add gas.
•Plug appliances directly into
the generator.
•Save gas by alternating
appliances. For example,
refrigerators can be kept cool
by supplying power eight hours
a day.
•Do not store fuel indoors.
Gasoline (and other flammable
liquids) should be stored
outside of living areas in
properly labeled, non-glass
safety containers. They should
not be stored in a garage if a
fuel-burning appliance is in
the garage. The gasoline vapors
can travel invisibly along the
ground and easily be ignited.
•Always have a fully charged,
approved fire extinguisher
located near the generator.
USING YOUR
COUNTY MAP
1. Locate where you live and work on the map.
2. Determine whether you are in an evacuation area, and if so, what level (color).
3. If you are in an evacuation area, or mobile home/manufactured home/RV,
decide where you will go if ordered to evacuate.
Your choices include:
• Home of a relative or friend outside the evacuation zone
• Hotel/motel outside the evacuation zone (make arrangements early)
• Leave the area entirely
• As a last resort go to a public shelter
4. If you must go to a public shelter, use your county map to decide which
one is convenient. Make sure you verify the shelter is open before you
go. Many shelters are local schools. The abbreviations ES, MS, and HS
(elementary school, middle school, and high school) are used on the
shelter list.

is the saltwater flooding that rushes over coastal areas when the core of
the hurricane crosses land.
•Storm surge causes a path of destruction wiping out structures in its path.
This is a life-threatening situation for anyone who ignores evacuation
orders and stays in vulnerable areas.
•Hurricanes are categorized on a scale of 1 to 5 depending on wind
strength. The evacuation zones are color-coded to designate the level
of storm surge likely to occur with the five categories.
•If you live in an area ordered to evacuate, gather your emergency supplies,
secure your home and leave immediately. Failure to obey an evacuation
order is a violation of Florida law.
•Note: All those in mobile homes/manufactured homes/RVs must
evacuate for all evacuation orders, regardless of where you are located.
