the very beginning of hurricane season. so it s important for everyone along the eastern seaboard to be ready for a storm. if and when the time comes. for more on that, i m joined by eaton edwards, executive director of the international preparedness network. thanks for being with us. thanks for having me. your mission is to keep us safe. what do we need to have in order to stay safe in any storm? people need to recognize they have to have a certain amount of equipment and information obviously to recognize what they need to do and what they need to have when the storms hit, after the storm hits and before the storm hits. people don t tong get emergency money like in small denominations. sometimes when the power outages come after the high winds, you want to have money in small denominations like 1s, 5s and 10s, not like 20s or 100s. can t break that, sorry. unless you want to buy a $100 loaf of bread.
sometimes you ll not be able to charge your cell phone. computers as well. strangely enough if the lines are down, you can t communicate you can also use computers. you have an adapter for your automobile you can plug it into your car and you have a constant charge for your car. computers can be used like skype. and that s something people don t tong do. you just have to be resourceful. you have to be clever sometimes to get around the situation. aton, thank you for all these great ideas an what we need to do in order to ride out a storm. so emergency officials in north carolina, they are scrambling with the fallout from hurricane arthur. plus, the disturbing new allegations of sexting and the dad charged with murder for leaving his toddler in a sweltering car. stay with us. your sacrifice and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy. military families are uniquely thankful for many things,
