8/1/2018

Yes, it’s that time.  TIme to put together another hurricane kit with the hopes you’ll never have to use it.  
Here are the 16 obvious and not-so obvious items to include:

 
1:  First Aid Kit.
2: Weather radio.
3:  Water:  One gallon per person for three days and additional gallons for pets.  If you have well water, you’ll need even more.
4:  Batteries:  Extra batteries for flashlights and radio.
5:  External cell phone battery: Make sure it’s fully charged.
6:  Food:  Three-day supply of non-perishable food.  Don’t forget snacks like granola bars and jerky.
7:  Can opener:  Canned food without a can opener is not fun.
8:  Lights:  Battery operated candles and solar lights which can be recharged in the sun if electricity is out for a few days.
9:  Pet food:  Don’t forget Fido!
10:  Loud whistle: It’s more audible than yelling, if you need help.
11:  Wipes:  These are a lifesaver for cleaning anything when there's no running water.
12:  Wrench & pliers (in case you need to shut off any utilities).
13: Paper plates & towels:  Remember, you may have no running water for cleaning dishes.
14: Plastic tarp:  Just in case you need to cover a hole in your roof after the storm.
15:  Deck of cards:  Helpful to keep the sanity of you and your family.
16:  Toilet paper:  Just because you really don’t want to run out if the stores are closed due to power outage.
