Residents of Coastal Areas Shrug off Hurricane Preparedness
 |
With hurricane season less than four days away, Mason-Dixon polling surveyed people living in coastal areas vulnerable to hurricanes and found that the overwhelming majority of them aren't prepared.
- 83 percent said they have not taken any steps in the past year to make their homes stronger, even after last year's active season.
- 66 percent have no hurricane survival kit.
- 62 percent don't feel vulnerable to a hurricane or related tornado or flooding.
- 55 percent do not have a family disaster plan.
If you were in the area in 1992 -- or even in 2005, for that matter -- we don't have to remind you that big storms do actually hit, and things go much more smoothly if you're prepared.
