We’re a month into hurricane season!
Hurricane Barry made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane early Saturday afternoon along the northern Gulf Coast. Even though Barry weakened to Tropical Depression it remains dangerous.
It’s important to realize we’re only a month into hurricane season, so I thought I'd share some resources and information that would be helpful if a storm were to hit our community.
For instance, there’s a great checklist from the Red Cross that you can print out and use before, during, and after a storm (link in comments).
Also, below are a few helpful reminders of small things you can do that will make a big difference.
Have a supply kit ready to go. Restock or replace items in your kit as needed, like batteries, water, nonperishable food, medications, a first aid kit, flashlights, and a radio.
Stay informed about weather systems in your area.
Write up an Emergency Plan for your family’s unique needs and a list of emergency phone numbers (link in comments).
Make sure you have gas in your car, personal documents safe and accessible, and cash on hand.
After the storm, avoid driving, standing water, and downed power lines.
Hopefully, 2019 will be a slow year for storms, but just in case, I hope this is helpful.
Stay safe!

After Carl Malamud posted Georgia’s annotated laws, the state sued for copyright infringement. Both sides have asked the Supreme Court to step in.
The majority opinion noted that even the U.S. Supreme Court has said Americans don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy “in trash left for collection in an area accessible to the public.” But the U.S. Supreme Court also said individual states are free to impose “more stringent constraints on police” based on their own constitutions.
The Oregon Supreme Court says we all still retain a privacy interest in our trash after garbage trucks haul it away.
