Getting Ready Before 

Hey Neighbor,

Hope your Hurricane Season Storm Prep is going along smoothly. 

We’ve been sending out weekly emails this June to help our Cocoa Beach neighbors get storm-ready long before the skies turn gray. Here’s a quick overview of what we’ve covered so far:

Week 1: Clean Drains & Trim Trees

We kicked off the season by focusing on what you can do before a storm even forms.

• Clear storm drains of leaves and debris
• Trim trees and secure loose branches
• Check in on your neighbors

Every little bit helps reduce flooding and keep our community safer.

Week 2: Build Your Emergency Kit

This week was all about planning ahead:

• Check your kits for expiration dates
• Refill kits on items you need
• Keep your gas tank full and cash on hand

Hint: Pack like you are camping for 3 days!
