Watch and Warning: A Guide to Hurricane Preparedness is an informative booklet that aims to help individuals prepare themselves in case of hurricane emergencies. The book explains the differences between a watch and warning issued by weather authorities. It also discusses protective measures that should be initiated when these warnings are given such as securing boats or leaving barrier islands.

The guide emphasizes the importance of listening to Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) which provide critical updates during natural disasters. The EAS can be accessed through various radio stations across Delaware such as WSTW (93.7 FM), WDSD (92.9 FM), WZBH (93.5 FM) among others depending on your location within the state.

In addition, Watch and Warning provides readers with important contact information for their respective counties' emergency management offices in New Castle County, Kent County, Sussex County as well as Wilmington City's office number if available.

Funding for this brochure was provided by Conectiv Power Delivery alongside DEMA; University of Delaware Sea Grant College Program; Project Impact Communities in Bethany Lewes Milford & Wilmington; while Florida State allowed use of their brochure design.
