Do not worry about the hurricane, but it is important to be careful.<\/p>\n

\u2022\tStay home with your host family during the storm and follow their advice and direction
\n\u2022\tKeep your own families at home informed about your location and personal status during\/after the storm
\n\u2022\tTalk to your host family about any travel plans you or they have for this week and cancel\/reschedule<\/p>\n

Do not be afraid, but it is good to go over emergency procedures with your host parents.<\/p>\n

We may lose electricity during the storm. Sometimes it takes a few days to get the power back on. Please know that you will be safe and that your host parents are prepared for these kind of situations. Stay inside in a hurricane and stay together.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of things to have on hand in the event of a natural disaster like a hurricane:
\n\u2022\tFood and water
\n\u2022\tflashlights and batteries
\n\u2022\ta battery operated radio
\n\u2022\tcharge your cell phones before the storm
\n\u2022\tcooler and ice for food to be stored
\n\u2022\thand wipes
\n\u2022\ta first aide kit
\n\u2022\tactivities to occupy the children
\nI hope the storm isn\u2019t too bad, but if you lose electricity, do not worry, it will come back on. Trust your host parents to know what to do and help anyway you can, especially with the kids!
\nIf you have to evacuate with your host families to another location, you must:
\nTake your important documents. This includes passport, Form DS-2019, Form I-94, Social Security Card, Financial Records, plane ticket, checks, credit cards, etc.)
\nTake contact numbers and e-mail address of your community counselor
\nTake SEVP and Department of State contact information. SEVP email address: SEVIS.Source@dhs.gov.; Department of State e-mail address: Jvisas@state.gov.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
