Hurricane Sandy proved to be a powerful storm that created much chaos, destroying many homes and properties along its path.
With that said, many did not aheared to the numerous warnings, or should I just say they ‘disregarded’ these important messages and simply choose to believe that “it would not happen to them“or “that it’s not going to be that bad because of the last storm”. Only to begin statements that start as “I didn’t think it was going to be that bad” or “I thought it was going to be different“.
It is always better to be in the side of caution and evacuate and properly prepare than be in a disadvantage position. While many did listen to the warning and evacuated when it safe to do so, quite a few choose to stay behind till that last moment or when it was too late. By then, this was creating a expose risk to all first responders and emergency workers. Many who have families they want to get back home to.
Many lost electricity for hours, days or for over a week. Many lost property, homes or their own lives. When dealing with a natural event that can cause havoc, think wisely, be prepared, have your plans in place (including alternate plans) and listen to the messages being givento you by your local police, fire and emergency management office. They know what needs to be done to minimize your exposure and keep you safe. Having a plan in place makes your personal response alot easier to handle.
