Hurricane Irene Survival Tips For The North East and Long Island From The Outer Banks, NC
What is a Hurricane?
A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone -a general term for all circulating weather systems (counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere) over tropical waters. These storms start as a tropical disturbance and as winds intensify, become a tropical depression – An organized system of clouds and thunderstorms with a defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 38 mph or less. Then comes a tropical storm – maximum sustained winds of 39 – 73 mph, until finally, when winds reach 74 mph or higher we have a Hurricane.
Hurricane Hazards
The main hazards associated with tropical cyclones and especially hurricanes are storm surge, high winds, heavy rain, and flooding, as well as tornadoes. The intensity of a hurricane is an indicator of damage potential.
A storm surge is a large dome of water, 50 to 100 miles wide, that sweeps across the coastline near where a hurricane makes landfall. It can be more than 15 feet deep at its peak. The surge of high water topped by waves is devastating. Along the coast, storm surge is the greatest threat to life and property. Wave and current action associated with the tide also causes extensive damage. Water weighs approximately 1,700 pounds per cubic yard; extended pounding by frequent waves can demolish any structure not specifically designed to withstand such forces.
Hurricane winds not only damage structures, but the barrage of debris they carry is quite dangerous to anyone unfortunate enough (or unwise enough!) to be caught out in them. Damaging winds begin well before the hurricane eye makes landfall. Hurricane-force winds can easily destroy poorly constructed buildings and mobile homes. Debris such as signs, roofing material, and small items left outside become flying missiles in hurricanes. Extensive damage to trees, towers, water and underground utility lines (from uprooted trees), and fallen poles cause considerable disruption.
Tropical cyclones frequently produce huge amounts of rain, and flooding can be a significant problem, particularly for inland communities. A typical hurricane brings at least 6 to 12 inches of rainfall to the area it crosses. The resulting floods cause considerable damage and loss of life. Rains are generally heaviest with slower moving storms (less than 10 mph). To estimate the total rainfall in inches, one rule of thumb is to divide 100 by the forward speed of the hurricane in miles per hour (100/forward speed = estimated inches of rain). The heaviest rain usually occurs near or along the cyclone track in the period 6 hours before and 6 hours after landfall. However, storms can last for days.
Tornadoes spawned by landfalling hurricanes can cause enormous destruction. As a hurricane moves shoreward, tornadoes often develop on the fringes of the storm. When associated with hurricanes, tornadoes are not usually accompanied by hail or a lot of lightning, clues that citizens in other parts of the country watch for. Tornado production can occur for days after landfall when the tropical cyclone remnants maintain an identifiable low pressure circulation. They can also develop at any time of the day or night during landfall. However, by 12 hours after landfall, tornadoes tend to occur mainly during daytime hours.
Hurricane Classifications
Category Winds (mph) Storm Surge
1 74 – 95 4 – 5 ft.
2 96 -110 6 – 8 ft.
3 111 – 130 9 – 12 ft.
4 131 – 155 13 – 18 ft.
5 156+ 19+ ft.
Don’t Forget Your Pets!
Another concern during storms is how to protect your pets. Because pets are not allowed in most emergency shelters, you need to plan ahead for their safety and welfare.
Keep shots up-to-date and have a health certificate readily available. Have current ID, proof of rabies shots, and proof of ownership and photos in case you and your pet become separated. Keep a week’s worth of food, bottled water and any medications your pet may need. If you can’t take your pet with you, arrange for someone to take care of the animal for you. Because pets also feel stress, use a pet carrier and keep an extra leash handy.
If you must leave your pet behind, prepare a secure area inside the house away from windows. Bring your pet inside before the storm hits, and NEVER leave any pet outside or tied up during a hurricane. Leave only dry food, dispensers are a must for birds, and make sure there is access to plenty of water. (A good idea is to leave the toilet seat up and fill the bathtub.) Confine smaller pets from larger ones, and leave dangerous animals in special crates or cages. You should also provide access to high places, such as counter tops, in case your home floods.
There are still concerns after the storm has passed. Be careful allowing your pet back outside. Wild animals that may have entered your area can be a threat as are downed power lines. If your pet does become lost during the storm, or if you find a pet, contact veterinary hospitals, animal control facilities and human societies in your area.

Hurricane Irene Preparedness Alert For Long Island, NY
BE PREPARED!
“Preventing the loss of life and minimizing the damage to property from hurricanes are responsibilities that are shared by all.”
Throughout this Web site, information has been provided regarding actions that you can take based on specific hurricane hazards. The most important thing that you can do is to be informed and prepared. Disaster prevention includes both being prepared as well as reducing damages (mitigation).
Disaster Prevention should include:
Developing a Family Plan
Creating a Disaster Supply Kit
Having a Place to Go
Securing your Home
Having a Pet Plan
One of the most important decisions you will have to make is “Should I Evacuate?”
If you are asked to evacuate, you should do so without delay. But unless you live in a coastal or low-lying area, an area that floods frequently, or in manufactured housing, it is unlikely that emergency managers will ask you to evacuate. That means that it is important for you and your family to HAVE A PLAN that makes you as safe as possible in your home.
Disaster prevention includes modifying your home to strengthen it against storms so that you can be as safe as possible. It also includes having the supplies on hand to weather the storm. The suggestions provided here are only guides. You should use common sense in your disaster prevention.
DEVELOP A FAMILY PLAN – Your family’s plan should be based on your vulnerability to the Hurricane Hazards. You should keep a written plan and share your plan with other friends or family.
