Hurricane Preparedness: A Checklist
Here's a list of
supplies to have to better cope with unforeseen circumstances:
- Cell phone with 4
extra batteries.
- Wireless laptop,
if you have one, plus an extra battery.
- 3 Flashlights and
extra batteries
- Portable
battery-operated radio and extra batteries
- First-aid kit
- Emergency food
and water
- Non-electric can
opener
- Essential
medicines
- Cash and credit
cards (cash is most important as many ATM/Banks
will not be open in power outages. Grocery stores will not
have the ability to operate their credit card machines)
- Sturdy shoes and a change of clothing
- Copies of
important papers, including bank accounts, insurance and
household inventory records.
- Your address book
to stay in touch with relatives and friends.
- Photos of your
pets, ID tag numbers
CAR INVERTERS/CONVERTERS
Another handy tip is to purchase a car media outlet (cigarette
outlet) adapters to convert 12V (your car battery) to 110V
(household appliances) so you can run any assorted appliance from
your car while it is running. These converters can be purchased at
most highway/interstate truck stops like Pilot, etc. Appliances you
can operate while your car is parked and running are coffee pot,
recharge various batteries like cellphones, tablets & notepads.
ICE & WATER are
the hardest items to be found following a hurricane.When you have a
few days before the arrival of the storm - freeze gallon milk
cartons with water so you can keep the food in your freeze cool for
a few days following the storm if the power is out.
GAS FOR YOUR CAR
make sure you fill your tank before the
storm arrives for many gas stations run out of fuel
during and after a hurricane. If the storm is predicted to be
a major hurricane then it is not unwise to purchase extra plastic
gas containers and keep 10+ gallons on hand for emergencies.
