Prepare for Hurricane – Hurricane preparation and information

It is essential to be prepared when a hurricane approaches. The possibility of death or injury increases with the strength and size of the storm. When a hurricane watch is posted it is the time to begin securing your residence and planning for possible evacuation. Put lawn furniture, hanging plants, and other loose outdoor items indoors. Board up windows with plywood or storm shutters. Fill your car with gasoline. Keep additional gasoline on hand in a safe location if using a generator will be a factor.

Water is essential to life. It is not possible to have too much on hand. For planning purposes, it is best to store one gallon per person per day for a minimum of five days.

In addition to drinking water, fill bathtubs, jugs, buckets, and other containers with as much tap water as possible to use for personal hygiene, flushing toilets, etc. Put as much water in the freezer as possible, filling every nook and cranny with large and small containers of water. This will help to preserve perishable food as well as create an additional supply of fresh drinking water as supplies run short.

ack a first aid kit, insect repellent, and canned and dry foods that can be eaten without cooking. Try to include such items as dry fruit, cheese-filled snack crackers, meal replacement drinks, etc. The power outages can be extended – chips and cookies will not provide appropriate nutritional value days after the storm.
