HOUSTON – Hello Houston!
I hope you all are having a wonderful week. This week marks the start of hurricane season. When it comes to hitting the roads, there are a few things you can do to prepare for a major weather event .
You can start by checking your vehicle. AAA recommends keeping a full tank. You should also check your lights, brakes, battery, oil, and thermostat. Also, you can’t forget about your car emergency kit.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security , the kit should include reflective triangles, jumper cables, an ice scraper, a blanket, a map, and sand for better tire traction. But let’s hope this hurricane season is not a bad one. Get KPRC 2′s 2023 Hurricane & Flood Survival Guide here and be sure to check out all of our content surrounding hurricane season here .
