Hurricane Sandy seems to be heading for the DC area. in preparing for a hurricane there are some essential items to have on hand:
Water - bottled water for the family to drink. Fill up bathtubs to use to flush toilets, etc if you lose water.
Non-perishable foods
Toiletries
Week's Supply of Medication
Flashlights & batteries
Battery powered radio
Fully charged cell phone and a car charger
Corded telephone
Full tank of gas
Cash - if you lose power some ATMs may not work
Be careful if using candles to minimize the risk of fire.
Fill ziploc bags with water and stick them into the crevices of the freezer. The extra ice will help keep your freezer items frozen longer after you lose power.
The most important thing is to stay safe by staying indoors and keeping up with the latest weather information.
