PHILADELPHIA — As Hurricane Irene rapidly approaches the northeastern U.S., HotMovies.com has released an important list of hurricane safety tips.
- Bottled water for drinking - lots of it in large containers - you could be without water or power for days or even weeks.
- Food – canned goods and other non-perishable items that don’t have to be cooked.
- Stay away from windows during the storm.
- Insurance information – trying to find contact numbers after a disaster can be disastrous – get a packet together.
- Light – having rechargeable or crank powered flashlights is more recommended then candles due to fire hazard.
- Evacuation routes – be aware of possible congestion spots, flooding tables. Your local library should have a plethora of information.
- The National Hurricane Center is a good place to find more information- www.NHC.noaa.gov
"People in the American Northeast are not used to hurricanes," said James Cybert, HotMovies.com director of business development. " It may be tempting to run outside and make a video for YouTube, but we highly recommend staying indoors for the duration of the extreme weather. Find something to fill your time. We recommend sitting safely at your computer, masturbating furiously."
