Puako Home Sales / Kohala Coast Properties

Living on the Big Island is always an adventure and a wonderous array of natural occurances.
Its always good to have an emergency plan for anything that might occur like an earthquake, hurricane or fire. Luckily we have been spared from most major problems here in Puako.

These are a few of the things you can do to prepare for such a situation whether you are on vacation or making your new home here.

1.Designate meeting places for your family if you would get seperated.

2.Appoint an adult family member to learn how and when to turn off electricity, gas and water.

3.Know the nearest shelter and shelter and evacuation routes, particulary if you live near a coastal area or on an island like we do.

4.Find a safe place to move your vehicle or boats.

5.Check your insurance policy to see if it provides adequate coverage. Damage caused by floods and high winds may not be covered in regular policies.

6.Place all of your valuables and important records in a waterproof container and store in the safest place you can find.

7.Make certain that everything you need is readily available for you to grab in such an emergency.

We always should be prepared. Hopefully we will not experience such a problem, but if we do we will have a better chance of surviving and protecting our friends, neighbors and family.

Have a great weekend everyone.
