• "TAMARAC RESIDENTS DO NOT EVACUATE."
  
  
• RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO SHELTER IN PLACE.
  - Develop a Family Plan for Hurricane Survival (Include Pets).
  - Take a walk around your home - Check your roof. Any necessary repairs should be completed before the hurricane season. Make sure doors and windows close properly and adjust if necessary.
  - Trim all trees, remove coconuts and other yard debris.
  - Prepare a Hurricane Survival Kit. A link is provided to the American Red Cross for more information on a survival kit.
  
  
• FAMILY COMMUNICATIONS.
  Residents should have an out of state emergency contact for contact should a hurricane strike your area. WHY out of town? It may be easier to reach someone out of town rather than someone local. This person can advise other family members of your condition and location and relay other critical information to family members.
  
  
• MEDICAL CONCERNS:
  - Tamarac Residents should have an ample amount of MEDICATION available. We suggest you have enough for 30 days.
  - Residents using home OXYGEN should request an extra supply in the event you are stranded at home. Contact your supplier for emergency details.
  - Residents with Special Needs may contact the Special Needs Hotline for details on registering for a Broward County Special Needs Shelter, 954-537-2888. This must be done each year before the season begins.
