Although Maria remains a minimal tropical storm, warnings and watches have now been issued for the BVI and Puerto Rico.

Maria is expected to begin slow intensification after passing Puerto Rico, and could be at hurricane strength early next week. It is too soon to tell if Maria will affect the mainland of the United States.
Nevertheless, we are in the heart of hurricane season, and so everyone should have their emergency plan and preparations already in place.
For more on how to go about doing that, NOAA, FEMA, and the American Red Cross have released an updated preparedness guide for the 2011 tropical season.
