In preparation for Hurricane Season, we wanted to provide our extended community with a list of items to have on hand to best deal with the multiple outcomes the storm may bring:
The National Hurricane Center suggests having the following materials on hand:
- Water: At least 1 gallon of water per person/ animal per day for at least 3 days.
- Food: At least a 3-day supply of non-perishable food.
- Radio: A battery-powered radio with NOAA weather radio tone alert and extra batteries.
- Flashlight: Make sure you have extra batteries as well.
- First Aid Kit
- Manual can opener: If the electricity is out, you would need some way to open your canned food.
- Cellphone: Make sure you have extra battery packs or a solar charger to keep your phone on.
- Prescription medications
- Glasses
- Cash
- Important family documents: Make sure you have copies of insurance policies and some form of state-issued ID.
