Hurricane Season Tip #2

Tip #2: Get your survival kit ready (if you are staying home).
  • Battery Operated or Hand Crank Radio/TV
  • Flashlights (w/spare batteries)
  • Emergency Candles (and lanterns for candles)
  • 2 Weeks supply of food (you chance to try that Astronaut Ice Cream)
  • Water 1 gallon per person per day x 2 weeks (1 person = 14 gallons, 2 people = 28 gallons, you get the picture)
  • Charcoal (only for OUTDOOR USE) & GRILL (excuse to buy a new one)
  • Lighter Fluid (4 uses per plastic can)
  • Fill bathtub with water to use to fill the toilet tank ONLY!!! should the municipal water pressure be low.
  • Anything that makes you feel comfortable (i.e., a blankee, a book, iPod)
another post soon.
