Days before, there are no hurricane watches or warnings, there are several things you should do.
Fill your car with gas. If you wait until a day or two is from a storm, there are long queues at petrol stations to start and raise prices. Note that you need a full tank because if the power in your area that could be almost a certainty, with every hurricane, there days before to find a gas station open, and those that are open, will againhave very long lines.
Gas purchase more if you have a generator. While the generators are on, I make sure and run it. If you have not used your generator in a few years, may require the spark plugs are cleaned out.
Make sure you have enough canned food sufficient for at least a week for each member of your family. Remember, a standard that does not have electric can opener. Left on canned food could still be demonstrated good area grocery stores in November, whenGather to offer Thanksgiving meals to the less fortunate. If you have small children, make sure you have everything you need such as milk powder, baby food and diapers. Do not have cold days, so plan ahead.
How to cook the food? Do you have a gas stove? Otherwise, you have a grid? If so, make sure you have a full tank of propane. If you do not have one, then consider purchasing tuna, canned fruit and other items that are notHeating needs.
Make that a gallon of water per person per day. Some years ago we had a category two hurricane, and the power was long as 13 days in some areas. At least try to have the last few weeks worth of water.
Fill any prescription medication, so a value of at least two weeks. It may be difficult to find a pharmacy open after a storm.
Check your power torches and batteries. Store in a place where all theFamily knows his position.
Do you have a well stocked first aid kit.
Do you have an old style plug-in by phone. After the first hurricane we experienced six years ago, there were working telephone lines available, but without power to cordless phones. Why did not I think of that before?
Make sure you have a phone charger that works in your car. This is a different type of phone should be run out of power.
Do you have any cash available for a period of at least one week. ATMdoes not work if the electricity is off.
Make copies of important documents and put them in a Zip-Lock bag. Your homeowners insurance is important. Also, protect valuable pictures in zip lock bag.
If your house is not able to take twenty storm strength, feeling sure you know where the nearest shelter. Many shelters will not accept the plan for pets, so in advance where you left them. Many sites offer pet boarding, but fill up quickly, so do not wait until the lastMinute.
Do you have hurricane shutters? In this case, ensure that the training and tools needed to support them? There are rental companies, which the shutters are made for you. The search for this option in advance, so you have the phone numbers and costs in mind. In our neighborhood, people help each other and several houses completed in an afternoon. The same applies if you need to board your windows. Try to buy wood, when a hurricane track forecasting the possibility of aStorm hits your area, which is usually about 5 days before the storm.
Discuss plans, as a family. How big is the storm would take up to when you plan to leave your house? The biggest hurricane we were sitting by a Category 3, and not funny. It 'not to mention hours of anxiety and stress, dangerous. We all have to Hurricane Katrina and Andrew, the damage can be done by a Category 5 visa. Escape routes, particularly in a state like Florida are filling fast, andStorms are unpredictable. Can not wait until the last minute to decide to go. If evacuated in a flood zone, as soon as orders are given. Do not make the mistake of trying to drive a storm.
