And you possibly are a little scared by the first hurricane alert of the season&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane season officially started in June and will end until November. A hurricane or a tropical storm can be scary but with the right measures to protect yourself, your family and your home, you will be completely safe.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important to be ready and prepared for a hurricane. Following the right instructions will make this hurricane season more secure. Here are some steps to do before a hurricane:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do not panic<\/strong>, this can make the situation get worse than the hurricane itself.<\/li>\n<li>Most properties in the Riviera Maya have hurricane-proof windows and doors. Be sure to <strong>close them properly<\/strong>. Check thoroughly if your door or windows are broken. In case they are, replace them or install seals to keep the water at bay.<\/li>\n<li>Buy at least a <strong>three day supplies<\/strong> of drinking water and canned food. Crowds and panic in stores must be avoided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergencyKit-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergencyKit-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergencyKit-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topmexicorealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergencyKit-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep important documents, an emergency kit, a portable radio and a flashlight in a backpack. We recommend to <strong>digitalize and make copies of important documents<\/strong>. Keep them in a Ziploc bag or upload them to the cloud.<\/li>\n<li>Your cell phone is the best way to communicate with your family and friends. Keep it close to you and <strong>use it wisely<\/strong>. Make sure to have a power bank in case it runs out of battery.<\/li>\n<li>A hurricane also comes with a little of <strong>boredom<\/strong>. No television, radio nor internet for days. Keep at hand books, games and toys to kill the boredom.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a pet, make sure it has your name, phone number and address <strong>on his collar<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure you and your family are completely prepared for a hurricane.
