Hurricane Awareness
Week To Start Sunday
Gov. lames B. Hunt, Jr. has
proclaimed the week of August 1-7
as Hurricane Awareness Week in
North Carolina.
Hunt said in the proclamation,
"...in an earnest appeal to all
citizens to become informed about
the nature of hurricanes and steps
they can take to protect lives and
minimize property damage, I com
mend this observance to our citi
zens."
Heman R. Clark, secretary of the
N.C. Department of Crime Control
and Public Safety, said about the
week, "North Carolina has been
extremely fortunate during the past
25 years that no major hurricane
has hit our coastal areas.
"No one, however, should as
sume that hurricanes are not a
problem for North Carolina," he
said. "A whole generation has
grown up without experiencing the
force and damage of a major
hurricane. The coastal population
has expanded greatly since that
time.
"It is not a matter of "if' a
hurricane hits our coast, it's a
matter of "when" the next one will
come. Learning what to do now
about hurricane preparedness can
save lives when one does come.
Learning what to do now about
hurricane preparedness can save
lives when one does come. It's too
late to learn when a hurricane is
upon you," he said.
In observance of Hurricane
Awareness Week, the Marine Re
sources Cihters in Manteo, More
head City and Fort Fisher are
scheduling hurricane education ac
tivities during the week.
Officially, hurricane season be
gan June 1 and will continue

Hint: If you cook with electricity,
get in the habit of turning off the
burners several minutes before the
allotted cooking time. The heating
element will stay hot long enough to
finish the cooking for you without
using more electricity. The same
principle applies to ovencooking.
WHERE IT'S AT
Knowing where it's at is pretty
important -* especially when it
comes to settling up family finan
cial matters. For instance, you
should know where birth certifi
cates, marriage licenses and di
vorce decrees are at. And you
should know the whereabouts of
Social Security numbers and family
income tax returns for the past
four years. In addition, family
members should know the location
of all life insurance policies and the
face value of those policies. Other
things family members need to
know include location of safe
deposit boxes and bank accounts.
The names of family financial
advisors including accountants,
lawyers and insurance agents, and
the location and value of joint or
separately-owned assets, such as
stocks and bonds.
IF YOU RACE THE CLOCK
If it seems that "the hurriered
you go, the behinder you get,"
maybe you're due for a personal
examination. Take a close look at
yourself and try to figure out just
why you're so busy. Many people
race the clock because they've
become too involved - they haven't
set limits on their activities. The
time and energy they'd like to use
for leisure or personal interests is
taken up by other commitments.
If you have the same problem,
you may want to evaluate your
involvements and weed out those
less important to you. Do you really
have to take your children to every
activity, game or show? Do you
have to hold down that part-time
job after work? On the other hand,
some people are too busy because
they want to be. For some, being
busy makes them feel needed. And
it may be nice to imagine your boss
or family can't get along without
you.
Others keep busy as a way of
avoiding personal relationships. If
every minute of the day is spent
running from one activity to an
other, they don't have to worry
about people getting too close to
them. Then too, being busy is a
good security blanket. You can
hide your hangups and fears under
constant busyness. So go ahead and
look closely at yourself. You may
find you like being busy.
But if you discover you really
don't like racing the clock, chal
lenge yourself to create a less
confining schedule.
through November 30. Most hurri
cans occur, however, in August,
September and October.
Insure that you and your family
know what to do in case of a
hurricane. Your local Emergency
Management office can tell you
what needs to be done. Don't wait
until it's too late.
HURRICANE SAFETY RULES
1. Enter each hurricane season
prepared. Every June through No
vember, recheck your supply of
boards, tools, batteries, nonperish
able foods, and other equipment
needed when a hurricane strikes.
2. When -you hear the first
tropical cyclone advisory, listen for
future messages; this will prepare
you for a hurricane emergency well
in advance of the issuance of
watches and warnings.
3. When your area is covered by
a HURRICANE WATCH, con
tinue normal activities but stay
turned to radio or television for all
National Weather Service advi
sories. Remember, a HURRI
CANE WATCH means possible
danger within twenty-four hours; if
the danger materializes, a HUR
RICANE WARNING will be
issued. Meanwhile, keep alert and
ignore rumors.
4. When your area receives a
HURRICANE WARNING:
Plan your time before the storm
arrives and avoid the last-minute
hurry which might leave you un
prepared or marooned.
Keep calm until the emergency
has ended.
Leave low-lying areas that may
be swept by high tides or storm
waves.
Leave mobile homes for more
substantial shelter. They are parti
cularly vulnerable to overturning
during strong winds. Damage can
be minimized by securing mobile
homes with heavy cables anchored
in concrete footing.
Moor your boat securely before
the storm arrives, or evacuate it to a
designated area. When your boat is
moored, don't return once the wind
and waves are up.
Board up windows or protect
them with storm shutters or tape.
Danger to small windows is mainly
from wind-driven debris. Larger
windows may be broken by wind
pressure.
Secure outdoor objects that
might be blown away or uprooted
or store them inside before the
storm strikes.
Store drinking water in clean
bathtubs, jugs, bottles and cooking
utensils; your town's water supply
may be contaminated.
Check your battery-powered
equipment. Your radio may be
your only link with the outside
world, and emergency cooking
facilities, lights and flashlights will
be essential if utilities are in
terrupted.
Keep your car fueled. Service
stations may be inoperable for
several days.
Stay at home if it is sturdy and on
high ground; if not, move to a
designated shelter and stay there
until the storm is over.
Remain indoors during the hur
ricane. Travel is extremely dan
gerous when winds and tides whip
through your area.
Monitor the storm's position
through National Weather Service
advisories.
5. Beware the eye of the hurri
cane. If the calm storm center
passes directly overhead, there will
be a lull in the wind lasting from a
few minutes to half an hour or
more. Stay in a safe place unless
emergency repairs are absolutely
necessary. But remember, at the
other side of the eye, the winds rise
very rapidly to hurricane force, and
come from the opposite direction.
6. Remember that hurricanes
moving inland can cause severe
flooding. Stay away from river
banks and streams.
7. Tornadoes spawned by hurri
canes are among the storms' worst
killers. When a hurricane ap
proaches, listen for tornado
watches and warnings. A tornado
watch means tornadoes are ex
pected to develop; a warning means
a tornado has actually been
sighted. When your area receives a
tornado warning, seek inside
shelter immediately, preferably
below ground level. If you are
caught outside, move away from
the path of the tornado at a right
angle. If there is no time to escape,
lie flat in a ditch or ravine.
8. When the hurricane has
passed:
Seek necessary medical care at
Red Cross disaster stations or
hospitals.
Stay out of disaster areas. Unless
you are qualified to help, your
presence might hamper first-aid
and rescue work.
Drive carefully along debris filled
streets and avoid loose or dangling
wires.
Report dangling wires to your
power company and broken sewer
or water mains to the water
department.
Prevent fires. Lowered water
pressure may make fire fighting
difficult.
Check refrigerated food for spoil
age if power has been off during the
storm.
