Believe it or not, hurricane season begins in just a few weeks. Those of us who stayed in town through both Hurricanes Isabel (2003) and Irene (2011) know that it takes only one big storm to make a bad hurricane season. So Virginia officials are saying now is a good time to review and prepare for hurricane season.
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management has released its 2012 Hurricane Evacuation Guide. It includes information on evacuation routes, emergency supplies, and emergency contacts. The guide is available online here.
Meanwhile, Virginia's annual Hurricane Supply Sales Tax Holiday is coming up May 25th-31st. Hurricane supplies like batteries, bottled water, and flashlights costing less than $60 each will be exempt of Virginia sales tax during the week. Generators costing less than $1,000 will also be exempt of state sales tax. Complete details of the tax holiday are available here.
