With the hurricane season that kicked off in June and extending to November 30th, the time is now to make sure your emergency kits, phone number lists, and hurricane preparation is done. While hurricanes often give warnings days in advance, if you live in a hurricane prone area like I do, you know that getting to the store for emergency supplies, water, and life saving medicines can be overwhelming and exhausting. Even day to day activities like filling up your gas tank and taking out cash can often take hours. And even worse, standing in your house and not sure what to pack or where to start when faced with an evacuation can be anxiety filled.
Hurricane Preparation List
I have created a hurricane preparation checklist that helps remind you that important essentials that you need to grab prior to leaving your home or even if you are hunkering down in place. This list is not all encompassing, meaning that you may need extra items not on this list, but it does provide a great jumping off point to making sure you have the items you need when the shelves go empty.
