Have you Started to Get Ready for the 2012 Hurricane Season?

Depositphotos_6176626_S.jpgWith Memorial Day right around the corner, many are making plans for the holiday. Some may be going on vacation and some may be planning a BBQ. But once the holiday weekend is over, we must prepare for the 2012 hurricane season which officially starts on June 1. Many native South Floridians have been dealing with hurricanes since they were young children and simply brush off hurricane season without preparation. However, must we remind you of the damage caused by Hurricane Andrew or even the more recent Hurricane Wilma, the second worst hurricane in Florida history? Advanced preparation is vital because right before a storm hits, supermarkets and home improvement stores are jam-packed with last minute shoppers. Waiting until the last minute on important supplies is especially dangerous because items fly off the shelves and you risk being left without necessary supplies. It also important to stock enough supplies to last you through a storm and beyond. The National Hurricane Center recommends including these items in your hurricane survival kit: Water – at least 1 gallon daily per person for 3 to 7 days Food – at least enough for 3 to 7 days Non-perishable packaged or canned food / juices Foods for infants or the elderly Snack foods Non-electric can opener Cooking tools / fuel Paper plates / plastic utensils Blankets / Pillows, etc. Clothing – seasonal / rain gear/ sturdy shoes First Aid Kit / Medicines / Prescription Drugs Special Items – for babies and the elderly Toiletries / Hygiene items / Moisture wipes Flashlight / Batteries Radio – Battery operated and NOAA weather radio Telephones – Fully charged cell phone with extra battery and a traditional (not cordless) telephone set Cash (with some small bills) and Credit Cards – Banks and ATMs may not be available for extended periods Keys Toys, Books and Games Important documents – in a waterproof container or watertight resealable plastic bag insurance, medical records, bank account numbers, Social Security card, etc. Tools – keep a set with you during the storm Vehicle fuel tanks filled Pet care items Proper identification / immunization records / medications Ample supply of food and water.
