Hurricane Disaster Kit

           An accessible hurricane disaster kit should be one of the first things you organize when preparing for a storm. Below, we have organized a list to help you stay prepared. 

           First, your hurricane disaster kit should be kept somewhere that it can easily be reached in an emergency. A few good places to keep a kit are:  your home, vehicle or at work. 

Your basic disaster kit should include:

  • Flashlight
  • Extra Batteries
  • Cell phone with an extra battery or a back up battery and charger 
  • Plastic sheeting and Duct tape (to shelter in place)
  • Moist towelettes, garbage bags and twist ties (for personal sanitation purposes) 
  • Wench or pliers to turn off utilities
  • Can opener for non-perishable foods.
  • Local Maps and a planned evacuation route.
  • Whistle to signal for help
