Today marks the start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season and it’s always a good idea to check your kits and be ready for a storm. Officials recommend that your kits include food, medication, and some clothes. If you aren't sure where to start here's a small list for you:
- At least 1 gallon of water per person per day for 2 weeks.
- Enough food for 3 to 7 days.
- Waterproof containers that will help store important documents such as passports.
- Light and communication equipment. This means a battery-operated radio, flashlight, clock, or wind-up clock and extra chargers for your phone, and very important, extra batteries.
Lastly, have an evacuation plan and check your evacuation zone here. For a complete hurricane checklist click here.
