As hurricane season kicks off, it’s crucial to take the time to ensure you and your loved ones are ready for whatever nature may bring. A little preparation now can make a big difference later. Here’s a quick guide to help you stay safe, organized, and ready for the storm.
Hurricane Preparedness Checklist
Follow your local weather updates, sign up for emergency alerts, and listen to guidance from local authorities. Preparedness saves lives and protects what matters most.
- Stock Up on Water and Non-Perishable Food: Make sure you have enough supplies to last at least 3-5 days. That includes bottled water, canned goods, protein bars, and other shelf-stable items.
- Prepare Medications & First Aid Supplies: Refill prescriptions in advance and keep a fully stocked first aid kit handy. Include any essential medical devices and hygiene items.
- Charge Your Devices & Backup Batteries: Power outages are common during hurricanes. Fully charge your phones, portable chargers, and any battery-operated radios or flashlights.
- Know Your Evacuation Plan: Identify your local evacuation routes and shelters. Have a “go bag” ready with clothes, toiletries, and important items in case you need to leave quickly.
- Secure Important Documents & Your Property: Keep vital records like IDs, insurance papers, and medical info in a waterproof container or digitally backed up. Bring in outdoor furniture and secure windows and doors to prevent damage.
