As Hurricane Helene strengthens to a Category 3 storm, the American Acorn Foundation stands by the communities of Florida’s Big Bend, offering our full support. We know how difficult this time can be, but together, we can prepare and protect what matters most—our families and homes. With winds of up to 120 mph and potential storm surges of 20 feet, it’s essential to act swiftly.
We encourage everyone to follow local evacuation orders and take necessary precautions. Here are some key safety tips to keep you and your loved ones safe:
- Follow evacuation orders right away if issued—your safety comes first!
- Secure your home by boarding up windows and securing outdoor furniture and loose items.
- Prepare an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, medications, and important documents.
- Stay informed through trusted news outlets for real-time updates on the storm’s progress.
- Move to higher ground if you live in a flood-prone area to avoid the dangers of flooding.
