Prepare for a Cape Cod Weather Emergency
Every Cape Cod home should have a copy of the Cape Cod Commission's Emergency Preparedness Handbook, which has Cape-specific information including a map of area shelters, a checklist to create your own disaster supply kit and information about power outages - plus much more. The Cape Cod Emergency Preparedness Handbook is available to download from the Cape Cod Commission Website.
In case of an emergency the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, the State Police, the Governor, or the National Weather Service can active the Emergency Alert System. Cape Cod’s designated primary regional recipient of this EAS is WQRC 99.9 FM. Other Cape stations monitor WQRC for these emergency broadcasts and then rebroadcast the information. **WBZ 1030 AM is the state alternate primary regional recipient of the Emergency Alert System.
Hurricane Season begins June 1st and runs through November 30th. The Climate Prediction Center (CPC) issued its 2011 Atlantic hurricane season outlook on May 19th, calling for a high likelihood (65% chance) of an above normal season. Forecasters say there is a 70 percent chance of having 12 to 18 named storms, of which 6 to 10 could become hurricanes, including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5). These ranges encompass the entire season, which ends November 30.
