Single burner propane stoves with extra propane canisters are helpful items to have on hand after a hurricane. Remember that it should only be used in a well-ventilated area. A battery-powered radio (to keep track of public service announcements) , a flashlight, and a good stock of batteries are essential once power is lost. Candles and oil lamps are helpful but should be monitored closely – especially around children.

Pack bedding and clothing in garbage bags to help them stay dry and clean. Make sure to take a jacket, a shirt with sleeves, long pants, and towels in addition to the items you would normally pack

eep a “dry bag” on hand to hold medicines, matches, insurance policies, proof of residence, and other important papers including photographs for insurance purposes.
