🌀 HURRICANE PREP: DON’T FORGET YOUR HEALTH!
When preparing for a hurricane, most people think about water, batteries, and emergency supplies. But what about protecting your body and well-being?
5 Wellness Tips Before, During & After the Storm
💧 1. Hydrate & Prepare Medications
Stock up on safe drinking water, essential medications, and necessary medical supplies.
💪 2. Lift Smart, Not Heavy
Moving outdoor furniture, sandbags, and emergency supplies can strain your back and shoulders. Bend at your hips and knees, keep loads close, and ask for help when needed.
🚶 3. Keep Your Body Moving
If you’re safely sheltering indoors, gentle stretching and short movement breaks can help reduce stiffness.
🧘 4. Protect Your Mental Wellness
Storm preparation can be stressful. Prioritize sleep, practice calming breathing exercises, and take breaks from constant news updates.
🧹 5. Don’t Rush Storm Cleanup
After the storm, fatigue and repetitive lifting can increase injury risk. Pace yourself, take breaks, and leave hazardous cleanup to professionals.
❤️ Remember: Your health is just as important as your home.
