STORM CATEGORIES

Hurricanes are classified into five categories according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, which estimates potential property damage according to the hurricane’s sustained wind speed.

KNOW THE HAZARDS

Storm Surge Accounting for the largest number of hurricane fatalities, storm surge is a dome of ocean water that is pushed ashore by the oncoming hurricane’s winds. A major hurricane could push more than 30 feet of storm surge (the height of a three-story building) into some parts of New York City, and storm surge can travel several miles inland. Storm surge and large battering waves can endanger lives, destroy buildings, erode beaches and dunes, and damage roads and bridges.

Wind With sustained winds of 74 mph or greater, hurricanes may damage buildings, topple trees, and turn loose objects into deadly projectiles.

Rain Heavy rain from hurricanes can cause flash flooding. Low-lying and poor drainage areas are especially vulnerable to flooding.

BE PREPAREDIF YOU MUST EVACUATE

IF YOU ARE NOT ORDEREDTO EVACUATE

IF YOU HAVE PETS

Make sure your disaster plan addresses what you will do with your pet if a hurricane requires you to leave your home.

If you cannot shelter your pet at a kennel or with friends or relatives outside the evacuation area, pets are allowed at all City evacuation centers. Please bring supplies to care for your pet, including food, leashes, a carrier, and medication. IF YOU LIVE IN A BASEMENT

Basement apartment residents may face additional risks from hurricanes even if they live outside evacuation zone boundaries. Many areas of the city can experience rainfall flooding. If you live in a basement apartment, be prepared to take shelter above ground. IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-RISE BUILDING

If you live in a high-rise building located in an evacuation zone, follow evacuation orders.

If you live in a high-rise building, especially on the 10th floor or above, stay away from windows in case they break or shatter. Or, move to a lower floor.

PREPARE A DISASTER PLAN

Develop a plan with your household members that outlines what to do, how to find each other, and how to communicate if a hurricane strikes New York. Use the Ready New York: My Emergency Plan Guide to create your plan by searching “My Emergency Plan” at www.NYC.gov. DETERMINE WHETHER YOU LIVE IN AN EVACUATION ZONE

Areas of the city subject to storm surge flooding are divided into six zones (1 through 6) based on risk of storm surge flooding. The City may order residents to evacuate depending on the hurricane’s track and projected storm surge.

Use the Hurricane Evacuation Zone Finder at www.NYC.gov/hurricanezones, call 311 (TTY: 212-504-4115), or consult the map provided in this brochure to find out if your address is located in an evacuation zone. If you live in an evacuation zone, have a plan for where you will go if an evacuation order is issued for your area. HAVE THE RIGHT INSURANCE

If you rent your home, renter’s insurance will insure the items inside your apartment. If you are a homeowner, make sure your home and its contents are properly insured — generally, flood and wind damage are not covered in a basic homeowner’s policy. Visit www.floodsmart.gov to learn more about the National Flood Insurance Program. FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR WHO HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS

Make sure your preparedness plan addresses how your special needs affect your ability to evacuate or shelter in place, and communicate with emergency workers.

Arrange help from friends, family, or neighbors if you will need assistance.

Allow additional time and consider your transportation needs, dietary needs, and special medical needs (oxygen, extra batteries, eyeglasses, prescriptions etc.)

Sign up for Notify NYC to receive emergency notifications and updates via email, phone, SMS/text, or Twitter. Also be sure to consult OEM’s website at www.NYC.gov and the NYC Mayor’s Office for People With Disabilities website at www.NYC.gov for updated information for people with disabilities or special needs.

PREPARE YOUR HOME AND VEHICLES

If a tropical storm or hurricane watch is issued:

• Bring inside loose, lightweight objects, such as lawn furniture and garbage cans.

• Anchor objects that will be unsafe to bring inside, like gas grills or propane tanks.

• Close windows and outside doors securely.

• Basements are vulnerable to flooding. Move valuable items to upper floors.

• Charge cell phone batteries.

• Top off your vehicle and generator with fuel.

• If you live in an evacuation zone, consider moving your vehicle to higher ground.

• Turn your refrigerator and freezer to a colder setting. If you lose power, items that need refrigeration will stay cooler for a longer period.

• If you live in a high-rise, you may lose water service if the power goes out. Fill the bathtub and other large containers with water.

• Refill prescription medications. HELP OTHERS PREPARE

Check on friends, relatives, and neighbors, especially older adults and people with disabilities or health conditions, and help them prepare and evacuate if needed.

IF THE CITY ISSUES AN EVACUATION ORDER FOR YOUR AREA, EVACUATE AS DIRECTED

The City will communicate through local media specific instructions about which areas of the city should evacuate. If ordered to evacuate, do so as directed. Use public transportation if possible. Public transportation may shut down hours before the storm. KNOW WHERE YOU WILL GO

The City strongly recommends evacuees stay with friends or family who live outside evacuation zone boundaries. For those who have no other shelter, the City will open evacuation centers throughout the five boroughs. Evacuation centers include accessible facilities and accommodations for people with special needs. For specific information regarding accessibility features of a particular facility, consult the hurricane evacuation zone finder at www. NYC.gov/hurricanezones or call 311. All evacuees will be accepted, and evacuees will not be asked about their immigration status at any New York City evacuation center.

If you are going to an evacuation center, pack lightly, and bring:

■Your Go Bag

■Sleeping bag or bedding

■At least a week’s supply of any medication (if possible), medical supplies, or medical equipment you use regularly

■Toiletries

TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Hurricane Season June 1 to November 30 (Historically, the greatest potential for hurricanes in New York City occurs from August through October)

Tropical Cyclone An organized, rotating, low-pressure weather system of clouds and thunderstorms that develops in the tropics

Tropical Storm A tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 39-73 mph

Hurricane A tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 74 mph or greater

Hurricane Watch An announcement that hurricane conditions are possible within a specified area. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult when winds reach tropical storm force, watches are issued 48 hours before tropical-storm-force winds are predicted to occur.

Hurricane Warning An announcement that hurricane conditions are expected within a specified area. The warning is issued

36 hours before tropical-storm-force winds are predicted to occur and can remain in effect when dangerously high water and waves continue.

IF A STORM APPROACHES

ASSEMBLE AN EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT

You may need to shelter in place (stay at home) during a hurricane. Keep enough supplies in your home for at least three days. Additionally, basic services such as electricity, water, public transportation, and telephones may be disrupted for several days or longer. Make sure that you have enough additional supplies for potential service outages.

Emergency supply kit checklist: use the suggestions below to check off items as you include them.

■One gallon of drinking water per person per day

■Nonperishable, ready-to-eat canned foods and manual can opener

■First-aid kit

■Flashlight

■Battery-operated AM/FM radio

■Extra batteries

■Whistle

■Iodine tablets or one quart of unscented bleach (for disinfecting water ONLY if directed to do so by health officials) and eyedropper (for adding bleach to water)

■Phone that does not rely on electricity

■Other items:

KEEP A GO BAG READY

Every household member should have a Go Bag — a collection of items you may need during an evacuation — packed in an easy-to-carry container such as a backpack.

Go Bag checklist: use the suggestions below to check off items as you include them in your Go Bag. Blank spaces have been provided for items you may want to add to the list, including medical devices and food for your dietary needs.

■Copies of your important documents in a waterproof and portable container (insurance cards, photo IDs, etc.)

■Extra set of car and house keys

■Copies of credit/ATM cards and cash

■Bottled water and nonperishable food such as energy or granola bars

■Flashlight

■Battery-operated AM/FM radio

■Extra batteries

■A list of medications you take, why you take them, and their dosages

■Doctors’ names and phone numbers

■First- aid kit

■Contact and meeting place information for your household and a small local map

■Child care, pet care, and other special items

■Other personal items:

BE PREPARED TO LOSE POWER

Make sure you have all recommended items in your emergency supply kit in case you lose power or other basic services.

If you have concerns about how a loss of power, basic services, and public transportation may affect you, consider evacuating.

SHELTER IN PLACE

If you do not need to evacuate, shelter in place and make use of your emergency supply kit. Stay away from windows in case they break or shatter and stay indoors to avoid hurricane hazards.

KNOW YOUR ZONE

Visit the Hurricane Evacuation Zone Finder at www.NYC.gov/hurricanezones or call 311 (TTY: 212-504-4115) to find out which hurricane evacuation zone you live in.

KNOW YOUR ZONE*

1. Determine whether you live in an evacuation zone by using the Hurricane Evacuation Zone Finder at www.NYC.gov/hurricanezones, calling 311 (TTY: 212-504-4115), or consulting this map. If your address is in one of the City’s hurricane evacuation zones, you may be ordered to evacuate if a hurricane threatens New York City.

2. Evacuees should be prepared to stay with friends or family who live outside evacuation zone boundaries.

3. If you cannot stay with friends or family, use the Finder, call 311 (TTY: 212-504-4115), or use this map to identify which evacuation center is most appropriate for you.

HURRICANE EVACUATION ZONES**

When a coastal storm is approaching, the City may order the evacuation of neighborhoods in danger of flooding from storm surge, starting with Zone 1 and adding more zones as needed depending on the severity of the forecast. Zones will be evacuated depending on life safety-related threats from a hurricane’s forecasted strength, track, and storm surge.

* Evacuation information is subject to change. For the latest information, visit www.NYC.gov or call 311 (TTY: 212-504-4115). Visit the MTA’s website at www.mta.info or call 511 for the latest transit information. If you need assistance evacuating during an emergency, please call 311.

** Information on evacuation centers is subject to change. Please visit www.NYC.gov/hurricanezones or call 311 for updated reports on building status and wheelchair accessibility features.
