Hurricane Ready Kit 2020

6/29/2020 (Permalink)

2020 Hurricane Season is here and we want to help you prepare NOW! After an emergency, you may need to survive on your own for several days. Being prepared means having your own food, water and other supplies to last for at least 72 hours. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.

Basic Disaster Supplies Kit

To assemble your kit store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as plastic bins or a duffel bag.

A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items:

•Water (one gallon per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation)

•Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food)

•Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert

•Flashlight

•First aid kit

•Extra batteries

•Whistle (to signal for help)

•Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air)

•Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place)

•Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties (for personal sanitation)

•Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities)

•Manual can opener (for food)

•Local maps

•Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
