Just having enough supplies to make it through the hurricane isn't usually enough.

There may be a long recovery period and you need to be prepared with enough supplies to make it through that extended time.

Water and electricity may be out for a week or more.

You'll want to have the following on hand for each person in your household for a minimum of three days:

  • Non-perishable food
  • Water
  • Medication
  • Extra cash
  • Battery-powered radio
  • Flashlights
  • Portable crank or solar-powered USB charger for your cell phone

Since you don't know where you'll be when disaster strikes, prepare kits for your home, work, and vehicles.
