As #HurricaneLee approaches, we urge the public to stay #AlwaysReady and begin preparing for the possible impact to the New England area. We especially want to highlight how water safety is important during this time. 🛟 #1: Do not go to the beach or approach large bodies of water: Heavy winds and rainfall will cause flooding. Be cautious of sneaker waves and large breaking waves as well. All mariners are advised to stay off the water and do not attempt to "ride out the storm." #2: Have a plan: Notify your work, family and friends if you have plans to leave the area. Make arrangements to have enough supplies and check the weather often. #3: Seek shelter in higher grounds if possible. This is especially important if you live on the coast, near water or in a house boat. Flooding is a possibility. #4: Protect your Property: We urge you to secure your boats by doubling up the lines or bringing them onto land if possible. Please secure your paddle crafts and and mark them with your name and a good point of contact just in case they get lost. Interested in learning more?
