Hurricane Ready!
Being prepared in advance is better than waiting to the last minute to go shopping for supplies and gas. Supplies run low very quickly during this season, so stock up in advance so you can avoid the shopping madness. Remove all objects in the yard that could get damaged or serve as a flying projectile. Secure gas grills as best as possible in a safe place to avoid propane hazards. Some things to have on hand & ideas for preparation: Gas up. Rev up the generator! Water. One gallon per person, per day (prepare for about a week). I keep about 5 five-gallon buckets of water for washing and fill the tub up. Electric portable water filter- varies in price Rations. Food that does not spoil is your friend. Try to stockpile foods & goods before season (it will get used eventually) don't forget about the fur babies. Batteries and/or portable power bank outlet for charging phones/computers. A portable li-ion battery would be ideal to have on hand. Batteries for flashlights. Gen
