BOATER’S HURRICANE PREPARATION CHECKLIST
FROM THE NATIONAL MARINE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (NMMA)
· Check your marine insurance carefully to see if you are required to take some action in order to make the claim valid.
· Check with your marina and find out their policy for handling hurricanes. In some states marinas can order all boats to leave.
· If you are going to move your boat, determine where you’re moving it ahead of time.
· Learn the storm surge history and elevation of your area.
When a hurricane watch is issued
(a watch means hurricane conditions pose a possible threat to the watch area within 36 hours)…
· Frequently monitor radio, TV, NOAA Weather Radio, or hurricane Hotline telephone numbers for official bulletins of the storm's progress.
· Move boats on trailers close to house. Weigh them down. Lash securely to trailer and use tie-downs to anchor trailer to ground or house. Let air out of trailer tires.
· Boats docked at marinas should have extra lines attached. Line lengths should be sufficient to take care of excessive high water.
Visit www.discoverboating.com for more information about how to protect you, your family and your boat during hurricane season.
