Live someplace where hurricanes are a regular occurrence? Give Bostonians #advice!

#NewEngland rarely gets hurricanes; for example, the last time #Maine was under hurricane watch was 2008.

So for those of you who live in places where hurricanes arrive more frequently, what advice do you have for us?

@gbhnews clean your gutters. Make sure the culverts in your neighborhood are free of debris. If you have a chainsaw, test run it for a few minutes. If you have a pickup truck open the drains in the bed. Make sure you know where your ratchet straps, rope, and tarps are. Wear a headlamp around your neck when you sleep, so it’s easy to find. Put a flashlight near the door in each room. Fill your tub with clean water, so you can flush your toilets. Open the taps on your rain barrels if you’ve got them.

Look after your friends and neighbors

Good luck out there! 💘
