HARRISBURG, Pa. - Governor Tom Wolf, PEMA, the Pennsylvania National Guard, Penndot, State Police and the Pennsylvania Department of Health all met to discuss their plans, in case the hurricane hits the state.

They say they are prepared and want residents to also be ready. They ask that people have three days of food and water. If people need medications, have at least three days worth on hand.

"Things like what if I lose my power and I need to have a cell phone to be able to call. Well, do I have a cigarette lighter charger in my car, in my car to be able to charge up my cell phone. We're asking you to recognize that you, the citizens are all part of our emergency response community" said PEMA director, Rick Flinn.
