Parent Talk

Each week, our Parents Council of experts takes your questions, gives advice and shares solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

This week’s question is:

What are some safety tips for families in the case of a hurricane (or, at least, torrential rain and high winds) this weekend?

Judy Vincent:

There are some basic, common sense things you can do. Have a flashlight and batteries in case the lights go out as well as candles, lots of bottled water and food. Try to park your car away from trees.
