Atmospheric Pressure- this is the weight of the air (going all the way unto the edge of the atmosphere) on any given point on the ground. it is measured with an instrument called a barometer. 2. Eye Wall- this is the area around the hurricane's eye where its strongest winds are. 3. Evacuation Orders- this signals that a. storm threatens your irntnediate arca. Local and State governments take this action to allow residents as much time as possible to get of danger. Evacuation orders are designed to clear residents from dangerous areas by the time tropical storm force winds arrive, not by the arrival of the eye of the storm. 4. High- "Highs" happen when cool air, chilled by nights and the seasons of the earth, condenses and sinks. Generally high pressures mean good weather. S. Hurricane- This intense tropical weather system has sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. 6. Hurricane Warning- indicates that hurricane conditions are expected in a specified area within 24 hours and your preparations should be complete. If you are evacuating, you should be on the way to your evacuation site. 7. Hurricane Watch- indicates that hurricane conditions are possible in a specified area within 36 hours. 8. Local State of Emergency- this is when the county begins mobilizing to protect lives and property. It's also the time to start putting your own Hurricane Plan into action. 9. Low- this is the complete opposite of a "High". It happens when the sunlight or the seasons wartn the air, which then expands and rises, often this means stormy weather. 10, Ridge- An elongated area, usually oval shaped, of high pressure. 1 1. Storm Surge- This large wall of water builds up as a hurricane moves over the ocean and can produce flooding up to 20 feet deep inplaces and affect more than 100 miles of coastline. Evacuation zones arc identified by their likelihood of being flooded by the rising water. 12. Tropical Storm Warning- Tropical Storm conditions arc expected in a specified area within 24 hours. 13 Tropical Storm Watch- Tropical Storm conditions are possible in a spccificd area within 36 hours. 1 ED8 '°N d3M01 'duo Wd0E'E 9006 '9l 'ups 14. Trough- An elongated arca of low pressure. 15. Tropical Depression- a complete low-pressure crirculation withwinds up to 38 mph. 16. Tropical Disturbance- An area of thunderstorms in the tropics that keeps its identity for 24 hours or more. 17. Tropical Storms- these organized systems of strong thunderstorms have sustained winds from 30 to 73mph. Tropical Storms are dangerous and can quickly develop into hurricanes. 18. Warm and Cold Fronts- Picture a mass of warn air sitting over us in the winter. A bunch o(' cold air blows in from Alaska. The zone where the cold meets the warm is called a. front. When the cold air is pushing the warm air away, it is called a cold front and vice versa. 19. Vapor Loop- Measures the water vapor in clear, not cloudy, air. These give lbrccastcrs a picture of air currents that will help steer a hurricane.

PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS South Florida has a large population that falls into the category of "People With Special Needs". Hurricanes are especially difficult and stressful for these people because, often, just moving from one place to another is strenuous. People that are frail, elderly, or handicapped and will need assistance in evacuating should :REGISTER NOW with Miami -Dade County Emergency Management Office at (305) 273-6700 or fill out an application for evacuation assistance at the Village Clerks Office or the Village Manager's Office. If you have any questions, call the "Special Needs Registry" at (305) 273-6790 and make your plans in advance. 1. Plan on taking care of yourself without electricity. Remember that the electrical conveniences that you count on for small things may be temporarily unavailable. 2. If you are elderly, frail, or handicapped and have friends or relatives that can help you with your property, housing, and welfare, contact them NOW so that you are part of their hurricane plan. 3. Make a list of any prescribed medication. 6 6 'd 88b8 '°N BC! 8(113 Wd 18:8 9006 9l 'upf 4. If you normally have help preparing your food, be sure that your food supply is transferred to smaller, lighter containers that you can open on your own. 5. If you will be staying elsewhere during the storm, discuss when you will be picked up. Allow time to gather the items you need to take along. 6. If you are in a battery -operated wheelchair, transfer to a manual wheelchair before the storm. You may not be able to recharge the battery. 7. If you normally need help with transportation or other needs :fromsocial service agencies, contact the Special Needs Registry NOW.

Try to stay with friends or family. 8. If you or a family member require electricity for life support equipment or need special supplies, discuss this NOW with a physician. You may want to consider buying a generator for the period after the storm. RED CROSS SHELTER A public shelter should be considered your LAST RESORT as a place to ride out a hurricane. The shelters should be left for the people with nowhere else to go. If you must evacuate, your best choice is the well prepared home of a friend outside of the evacuation zone. If you must go to a shelter, it may be crowded. Remember, Red Cross shelters are not designed to be comfortable, but are designed to be safe places to ride out the storm. Food inay or may not be provided. If you do not have an alternate plan and must evacuate to a shelter, Bring along your own supplies. The Red Cross continues to be in need of volunteers to be trained to run a shelter for the next storm. If you would like to become a shelter volunteer and receive training from the Red Cross, call (305) 644-1200.

The following tips were provided in a brochure by the Federal. Emergency Management Agency: 1. Store at least a two-week supply for each family m.em.ber. That means at least one gallon a day for each person. Store water only in washed containers but for no longer than three months. 2. As a storm approaches, you also can store water in your bathtub and toilet tank (not bowl) for washing and flushing toilets. (That's because if the electricity fails at the local waterworks, you won't have water pressure.) Close the bathtub drain and seal around it with waterproof caulking and fill it with water. 3. Freeze as much water as you can. 4. Depending on the size, water heaters hold several gallons of clean water that you can use after a storm for sanitary or other, needs. As part of your final preparations for a hurricane, unhook or shut off the water heater from its water source so it will not get contaminated. You will have this extra source of water to use in the after nath of a storm. Know how to disinfect water to kill disease -carrying microorganisms 10 8� d 88178 13MO1 81110 Wd68:8 9002 '9l 'wer I. Boiling: It is the safest. Bring water to a boil for about 10 minutes. It will taste better if you put oxygen back into it by pouring it back and forth between two containers. 2. Chlorination: Use liquid chlorins bleach that contains 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite and no soap. (Some containers warn against personal use.) Add two drops of bleach for each quart of water (four drops if water is cloudy) stir and let stand for 30 minutes, 1 f the water does not taste and smell of chlorine at that time, add another dose and let stand for another 15 minutes. 3. Purification: Tablets available at rnost sporting goods stores and some pharmacies release chlorine or iodine. Follow package directions. Reprinted from the Village of Key Biscayne INSURANCE Insurance is more complicated now than ever before, but the time spent being sure you're well covered is money in the bank after a storm. Ask every conceivable question of your insurance agent. If you don't get a good answer, ask the company directly, and get it in writing. Condo owners not only have to be concerned about the individual homeowners policy on their own unit, but also about the insurance the association is carrying on th.e building or complex, Preparing for a Storm You can do yourself a big favor by cataloging your personal items NOW. Be sure you have a complete description (brand name, model number, age, purchase price, place of purchase, etc.) of your personal belongings. Take a picture of everything and make TWO copies of the pictures and the lists. 1. Keep one of the originals and one of the copies in a waterproof container at home. Take it with you if you evacuate 2. Send one set to a friend or relative out of town. 3. NEVER give the insurance company the only original. They can lose things like anybody else. Here are important questions for your insurance agent or. company: 1. Do I have replacement value coverage on my apartment and personal property? 11 �l d EPA '°N i MOl 9010 Wd88:8 9006 '9l 'upr 2. What does replacement value mean? 3. If my apartment gets damaged, will the policy pay the entire cost of rebuilding'? In other words, "Is there a limit to my replacement value coverage?" 4. If the building code has changed since my apartment was built, will the policy pay the difference to meet new code requirements? 5. Does my policy cover wind damage? You may have a second, separate policy that only covers damage from wind. 6. Exactly what is covered by each policy? 7. If the garage collapses on my ear, what insurance pays for the repairs? 8. What is the deductible on my policy or policies'? 9. Is there any exclusion, things that are not covered? 10. Has my coverage kept pace with my improvements, additions, rising property values, and rebuilding costs? Does my insurance cover relocation or temporary housing? 12. Does my policy cover houscguests? Renters If you rent, you need renter's insurance. You need to ask the same questions about replacement value as a homeowner. * Reprinted from the Village of Key Biscayne INVENTORY BELONGINGS FOR INSURANCE CLAIMS Adequate homeowner's or renter's insurance will help protect you from the financial impact of a natural disaster. A crucial step is to take inventory of everything you own in your home. Having this information will speed your claim settlement. Ier,.e,'s how to do an inventory: I. Include the name and address of the appraiser on all appraisals. 2. Record the serial numbers of small appliances and other thett-prone items. 3. Keep your receipts along with a description of the items. Receipts are especially important for big -ticket items such as computers and large appliances. 4. Videotape or photograph all items that you own.. Describe on the videotapes or on the back of the photos the items and their prices. 5. When doing an audio or video inventory, start in one corner of the room and work 12 S l 'd ECM '°N f3M01 8nno wdCE:8 9002 your way around. 6. Inventory the contents of closets and the garage. 7. Make a detailed record of antiques, jewelry, silver, major appliances, and collector's items. This includes the prices, purchase dates and serial numbers. 8. Keep these videos or photos outside of your home, such as in a bank safe deposit box. 9. Update the inventory periodically. Ilere are some photo tips for taking inventory: .1 . Use a camera with a flash and take color pictures, which show detail better than black and white. 2. [)ate inventory pictures, slides and videotapes. If appropriate, record the date of purchase, brand names and purchase price of each item on a record card next to the picture. 3. In order to get an overall picture, take wide-angle photos of the whole room, then several close-ups to capture detail 4. Focus the flash away from mirrors and other reflective surfaces by standing at a 45 - degree angle the shiny surface. 5. When using a flash, don't get closer than the recommended focus range. If you must get closer, diin the flash by placing a white handkerchief over it while taking the picture. 6. Place a family member in the picture because that helps substantiate ownership of an item. 7. Open closet doors to show how much clothing you own. 8. Take pictures of drawers' contents. 9. When photographing silver china or jewelry, use a dark cloth as a background. Don't use a flash when photographing jewelry. 10. Take a picture of the pattern name or manufacturer's signature of china, along with a picture of the pattern, 11. When photographing or recording collections in albums, make sure the picture includes the entire page, along with close-up shots of the most valuable items. Make sure the pictures tic in with your home. 12. Photograph power tools and include detailed photographs of the i.n.side of your toolbox. 13. If you only want to take a few pictures, photograph groups of your most valuable unappraised items or record whole rooms with the most valuable items prominently displayed. * Reprinted from the Village of Key Biscayne 13 9l 'd 88 8 '°N 00.1 snip Wd88:8 9002 '9l 'u'er ST PLANS, TEAMWORK TO HARNESS KIDS, FEARS Preparing for hurricane season means readying children for the psychological effects of a storm. Consider these guidelines: 1. Accept the hurricane season and that another hurricane is possible. Begin to think about preparations. 2. Threatening new storms will stimulate fears and memories of Andrew. Talking about those memories will clarify reality and alleviate unnecessary anxiety, and it. allows you and your family to marshal forces not only to prepare, but also to overcome it. R.em.cmber, children may relieve the trauma of the hurricane through repetitive play. Children may play hurricane games as a way of mastering fears, the same way a child with an unpleasant experience at the dentist may come home and playact being a dentist with the younger sibling. 3. Make a supply list. Allow the children to add items, perhaps a stu#Ted toy or games. 4. Develop a family plan of response that is clear and understandable to everyone, and give children a role in its implementation. If you are going to evacuate, choose the route and select a destination. If you are going to stay home, discuss with your children what you are going to do and where you are going to sleep. Children should have their own flashlights. Games help pass the time, give children something to :focus on and promote family togetherness during periods of anxiety. 5. Take a trial run with the children then celebrate the success of your pi.an, emphasizing the key role each. person played. 6. People who become overwhelmed with fear and anxiety may want to seek professional advice or treatment. Parents who are concerned about their children can ask their pediatrician or family doctor to refer them to a mental health professional who specializes in treating children, such as a child psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker. PETS 14 tl 'd 8818'°N 13M01 8nio Wdi78:8 9006 '9l 'u�f Animals are affected by the stress of a stogy just like people. It seems, however, they are more resilient and recover much faster. They also have good instincts for their own survival. As hard as it may be to leave your pet, the odds are good they'll make it, even if the situation gets very bad. The BEST THING you can do is to take your pet to a kennel or a veterinarian for boarding during the storm. These spaces fill up quickly, however, so make your reservations early. Some kennels will "hold" spaces for regular customers. If you cannot board your pet, consider asking your a friend or relative who lives in a non - evacuation areaif they would mind your pet. 1. Pets are not allowed in public shelters. 2. If you must leave them behind, prepare a place for them in the most protected room in your home. If possible, use a room with no'windows, but make certain that there is enough. ventilation. 3. Tag your pet with proper identification and inoculation information, Be sure vaccinations are up to date, and that your name and phone number are on the tags. 4. Leave enough food and water for at least two weeks. 5. Arrange a layer of plastic and a layer of paper or cardboard for the pet, 6. Do not sedate your pet. 7. Do not leave pets in a car outside of a shelter. When Von Evacuate • Notify management in writing of where you will be staying an.d a phone number where you can be reached. • Leave during daylight hours if possible. • Be sure to evacuate to the nearest shelter or other safe inland, non -coastal area. • Take all necessary medical supplies and medications with you. • Take small valuables (money, jewelry, etc.) and important documents with you. • Take a battery -powered radio, flashlights (extra batteries), plenty of drinking water, toiletries, bedding and food that can be eaten cold (don't forget the manual can opener). Shut Down Should an evacuation order he issued, the building will be "Shut Down". 15 8l d TP8 01'101 8 l3 WdO8:8 900 9l ver Several hours before the storm's landfall, all six -passenger elevators, the air conditioning system and the boiler systems will be shut down in order to protect the equipment during the storm. Additionally, all building personnel will evacuate the building several hours prior to the storm's landfall (they too must prepare their homes and families). It is strongly urged that you evacuate the building should an evacuation order be given. If you choose to stay in the building during the storm, note the following information; • A security officer will be posted in the lobby of each Club 'Power and will be set up as a "command center". They will be available to try and assist you in obtaining help in the event of a medical emergency, fire or serious damage. • Prior to a Hurricane Warning, you will be provided with a phone number to contact your concierge. • You should notify the management of your intent to stay. • You should establish a "safe room" for you and your family to stay in during the storm (a room with no windows). in the event outside information or assistance is needed, you may call: Miami -Dade County Answer Center 305 468-5900 Miami Dade Water Plant 305 953-2854 Miami Dade Streets Division: 305 945-3984 Florida Power and Light 305 442-8770 Miami Dade County Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program - 305 442-8770 Police or Fire Department Emergencies Only) Red Cross 305-644-1200 National Hurricane Center - 305-229-4522 - 911 (For 16 6l 'd 88178 '°N d3M01 13 WdtiB 8 9002 '9l '19r Again — You are urged to evacuate the building if an order is issued. If a storm's landfall is in this area, there is a strong possibility that high winds will penetrate your apartment, knocking down doors and walls. During and after the storm, the police, fire department and fire rescue may not be able to provide emergency services. DI:RING TIIE HURRICANE Even at ground zero during Hurricane Andrew, in the hardest hit and the most heavily damaged area, no one was hurt inside a well prepared home. A home that is properly prepared has a much greater chance of surviving even the strongest storms and protecting the occupants within. Our entire island is vulnerable to hurricanes and evacuating from one area of the state to another does not guarantee a thing! Your best course of action is to prepare your home and remain in your designated "SAFE AREA" once the storm has begun. 1. Do not leave your safe room even if you hear windows breaking or other loud noises. It is extremely dangerous to expose yourself' to the wind stream. 2. Stay away from windows at all times 3. DO NOT leave a window open at the "opposite side" from th.e storm. Close all the windows and stay put. 4. If the electricity goes off, use only flashlights. Use only flashlights. NEVER use candles or kerosene lamps during the storm. 5. Never cook during the storm. A gust of wind could spread a fire, and the fire department would not be able to respond. 6. Tell stories or sing songs to help keep children calm. 7. If the eye of the hurricane passes through your area, stay indoors unless emergency repairs are necessary. Wind and rain may stop for a few minutes to more than half an hour. Don't let that fool you. The wind will suddenly pick up againfrom the opposite direction and possibly with greater force than before. 8. Turn off and unplug any unnecessary electrical equipment, especially sensitive electronics, BEFORE, the power goes out. If power does go out, turn off circuit 17 06 'd 88178 '°N 0101 81110 Wd58:8 900/ '9L 'up(' breaker that operates a lamp, so you'll know when the power is restored. Dade County Disaster Information After the hurricane, all Miami Dade County HIGH SCHOOLS located in an affected or damaged area, will become Disaster Information and Resource Centers. If you need any recovery or medical help, this is the place to go. Initially, Police, Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Personnel will staff these centers, then, as soon as possible, representatives of the Salvation ...rmy, the Red Cross, the insurance industry, and other agencies will be providing neighborhood services. These centers represent Miami Dade County's commendable effort to solve the problem that developed after Hurricane Andrew when people needed help and didn't know where to go. After future hurricanes in Miami Dade County, look for the balloons at your local high schooland help will be there. RETURNING TC) THE Bt 1LDIi�;G After the storm has passed, avoid returning to the building immediately, There may not be any electricity, which means there will be no air conditioning, no hot water and the use of only service elevators, which is to be used for emergencies only.
