  • Local: Will probably have personal hurricane plans, but will require some time to implement them.
  • Non-local: Production should make plans to shelter them in a safe place, or to relocate them away from the hurricane. Contact hotels in expected safe areas in advance, as they will book up quickly before a storm!
  • Equipment and Vehicles: Your plan should show how you will keep them safe from wind and flood hazards. A plan to return equipment before a storm’s impact will suffice. Watertight storage in a wind-safe structure should be considered. Supply addresses and phone numbers of equipment rental houses and vendors you are using.
  • Locations: Create a plan to secure your locations, production offices and soundstages. Determine alternates for these facilities in the event any are damaged by the storm
• Emergency Contact List:
  • Assemble emergency contact information for all cast and crew.
  • Create a plan to contact them after the hurricane has passed.
