Q: . Head north to avoid the storm if you can, where it will have lost strength by the time it reaches you. For example, go to Georgia if you live in southern Florida or move inland if you live in the Carolinas. It's a lot easier to keep the family and pets together and safe when you are away rather than weathering the storm.  Stay together. Leave your home in a group and take one car if possible. Always obey local orders to evacuate. Evacuation should be an added priority if you live in a mobile home, even one made after 1994. Mobile homes can be destroyed in the weakest, Category 1 hurricanes. Only take what you really need, like your cell phone, meds, identification, cash, and perhaps some clothes. Have an emergency medical kit with you, as well. Fill up the gas tank and give yourself plenty of time. You do not want to be in your car during a hurricane. Never leave pets behind––if they're not able to escape debris, flood waters, or flying items, they can be injured or killed. If you decide to stay, you'll need to find a place that will protect you, your family, and your pets during the storm. This shelter should not have any windows or skylights. If it's in your home, close all interior doors and secure and brace the external doors.  Hopefully you will have prepared as mentioned above. In that case, you should have a safe space and everything you need. If not, make do in the time available. Choose an interior room with strong walls and no windows. An interior bathroom or closet can work, for example. You can even protect yourself in a ceramic bathtub, covering the top with plywood. Alternatively, look for a community shelter. Hurricane areas like Florida have shelters statewide that open during storms. Find one near you, bringing things like meds, insurance papers, IDs, bedding, flashlights, basic snacks, and games. Don't cut it close. Get to your shelter before the storm starts. Bring a battery-powered radio and a supply of batteries and use it for updates (every 15 to 30 minutes). At this point, the outer bands of the hurricane should have already started to affect you.  Have your Emergency Disaster Supply Kit close at hand. Stay inside at all times, even if it seems calm. The weather in a hurricane can moderate and worsen quickly, especially if you are passing through the eye of the storm. Keep away from windows, skylights, and glass doors. The biggest risk in a hurricane is from flying debris or broken glass. For added protection, try to lie on the floor under something sturdy like a table. Water and lightning pose electrocution risks during a hurricane. Turn off your main breaker and big appliances if you lose power or are threatened with flood water. Try not to use electric appliances, the phone, or the shower. A lot can happen in a serious hurricane. You might be in danger from the storm surge, injured by debris, or face some other medical crisis. What should you do if something happens?  Unless you're threatened by flood waters, it's probably best to stay inside and sheltered. The high winds and flying debris can injure or even kill you. Try to call 911 or your local emergency services if you or your family are in life-threatening danger. But keep in mind that the phone may not work, and emergency services may not be available. Thousands of 911 calls went unanswered during Hurricane Katrina, for example.  Use the resources you have. Treat injuries as best you can with a first aid kit. If you can reach 911, they may at least be able to advise you on a course of action.
A: Evacuate Find a shelter. Take shelter at least 2 hours before the storm hits. Stay put in an emergency, but do call for help.

Q: If the person is not conscious, you will need to give them an injection of glucagon. If you are not a medical professional, then this should be done by a family member or friend who has been taught how to give the injection.  Call an emergency number immediately if no one is able to give the injection. Glucagon requires a prescription. If you are a diabetic, make sure someone around you knows that you have the prescription, and show them how to give the shot. If the kit is still usable, open it and take out the contents. Mix the glucagon powder and liquid, carefully following the directions on the box.  Do not give expired medication. Instead, contact emergency assistance. Keep the glucagon stored at room temperature. An injection of glucagon may cause the person to vomit. To keep the person from suffocating in the event this happens, turn them on their side. Use an alcohol swab or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. An easily accessible spot would be the upper arm. Let it dry for a few seconds. Tap the syringe gently with your finger to check for bubbles. If any appear, push the plunger slightly to force out the air. Pinch a fold of skin in one hand. Hold the syringe close to the fold with your fingers off the plunger. Stick the needle into the injection site. It can be injected into the subcutaneous fat or into the muscle. Quickly push the plunger in completely and give the amount stated on the kit's bottle. Usually the syringe is held at a 90-degree angle, however a 45 degree angle is often needed for small children and thin adults. This is to prevent the injection from going into the muscle. Be sure it is being removed at the same angle it was inserted. Place the cover back over the used needle. Dispose of the used needle in a sharp disposal box or a hard container with a lid, such as a laundry detergent bottle, as soon as possible. Use the one-handed needle recapping method to prevent accidental needle sticks. Place the cap on a flat surface, then insert the syringe into the cap using one hand. Push down against the cap until you hear the "click." Glucagon should act fairly quickly. Within about 10 minutes of receiving the injection, the person should wake up.   Call emergency services immediately after giving the injection. Glucagon will temporarily stabilize the person's blood sugar, but they still need to be evaluated by a doctor. Be prepared to clean up in case the person vomits. By the time 15 minutes have passed since the injection, the person should be able to swallow. Give them something with carbs and protein as a snack.
A:
Find the person’s glucagon supply. Check the expiration date on the emergency glucagon kit. Place the person on their side. Clean the injection site. Ready the injection. Insert the syringe. Remove the syringe slowly. Wait for the person to wake up. Give the person something to eat.
