I have been posting a series of post for Hurricanes. This post will be a checklist that you should have in case a storm should hit. We all should know this by hard, but its a good reminder.
- Drinking water- At least one gallon per person per day for at least three to five days. You will need extra water for preparing food and personal hygiene.
- Food- Food for three to five days of non-perishable foods.
- Three to five days worth of baby formula, diapers, wipes and special foods for the elderly
- Manual can opener
- Paper goods- plates, cups, utensils, paper towels
- Extra bedding- sheets, pillows, and sleeping bags, should you need to evacuate
- Clothing
- First and kit
- Medicines- a two week supply
- Flash light and batteries
- Battery or hand cranked radio
- Hardline telephone with jack
- Toys, books and games for entertainment during the storm
- Pet food and cat litter and other pet care items
- Plastic trash bags and ties
- Extra propane gas for outdoor cooking
