Essential Items to Have in Your Emergency Hurricane Kit
When a hurricane strikes, being prepared can make all the difference. Having a well-stocked emergency kit ensures you and your family stay safe, comfortable, and ready for any situation. Here’s what you should include:
Must-Have
Emergency Supplies
Water & Non-Perishable Food
-
Store at least one gallon of water per person per day for three days for drinking and sanitation.
-
Pack ready-to-eat, high-energy foods such as canned goods, granola bars, and peanut butter. Don’t forget a manual can opener!
Flashlights & Extra Batteries
-
Power outages can last days or even weeks after a hurricane. Keep multiple flashlights in different areas of your home and stock up on extra batteries. A headlamp is also useful for hands-free lighting.
