-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE--AND IT'S TIME TO PREPARE. YOU MAY
THINK ABOUT THINGS LIKE STORM DOORS--BUT JAMIE FRANCE, OF
STATE FARM INSURANCE, SAYS YOU SHOULD REMEMBER YOUR MEDICINE
CABINET, AS WELL...
(FRANCE):
"IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AN
ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AVAILABLE--IN THE EVENT OF AN
INCOMING STORM. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AT LEAST A
TWO-WEEK SUPPLY--IN CASE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE RELOCATED. WE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU DO THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HURRICANE
SEASON--SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF STORAGE YOU HAVE AVAILABLE."
(BRIDGE):
YOU CAN HELP MAKE YOUR HOME MORE SECURE DURING A STORM...
(FRANCE):
"[THE] BEST WAY THAT A HOME CAN BE PROTECTED FROM
WINDBORNE DEBRIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THEIR HURRICANE SHUTTERS
PUT IN PLACE. ANCHOR YOUR PATIO FURNITURE DOWN; ANCHOR THE OTHER
THINGS IN YOUR LAWN--SO THAT THEY DON'T BECOME, BASICALLY, PROJECTILES
THAT WOULD BE CRASHING INTO YOUR PROPERTY. IT'S ONE OF THE
MOST-SUSCEPTIBLE AREAS FOR A PROPERTY TO BE DAMAGED, IS TO HAVE
SOMETHING FLYING THROUGH THE WINDOW."
(CLOSE):
