    Tracking hurricanes involves using satellites, radar, and aircraft to detect them and provide information to inform people through radio, television and the internet during hurricane season. Preparing for hurricanes involves creating emergency kits, strengthening homes, protecting property, and planning emergency procedures. During hurricanes, people should stay indoors, keep informed of the storm, prepare to evacuate if needed, and take care of their mental health as they may experience power, water or other outages. After hurricanes pass, returning home safely, contacting others, inspecting damages carefully, and staying informed are important.
