Use our Hurricane Checklist to make sure you’re prepared for sever weather.

Create a Plan

□ Save emergency phone numbers in your cell phone and write them down, as well.

 □ Identify the nearest emergency shelter and several evacuation routes.

 □ If you have pets, locate shelters, pet-friendly hotels and friends or relatives who live out of town where your pets will be welcome if you need to evacuate.

 □ Share your hurricane plan with friends and family.

Collect Emergency Supplies

 □ Gather enough food for adults, children, babies and pets for a minimum of 5-7 days. Food should have a long storage life and require little to no cooking, water or refrigeration.

 □ Buy water or fill sanitized containers with drinking water. Store 1 gallon of water per person per day for 5-7 days.

 □ Have medications on hand. Fill prescriptions in advance and stock up on over-the-counter medications and first aid supplies.

 □ Locate important documents like medical paperwork, IDs, passports, wills, etc.

 □ Place flashlights and candles in multiple places around your home for easy access. Make sure you have batteries and lighters/matches.

 □ Know where your fire extinguisher is located.

Prepare Your Car

 □ Fill up with gas in case of evacuation. Fill portable gas tanks or cans to take with you.

 □ Move vehicles into your garage or under as much cover as possible.

 □ Keep an emergency kit in your car.

□ Put away everything in your yard that could blow around and cause damage to your home or vehicles.

□ Cover windows with storm shutters or plywood to prevent shattering glass.

□ Make sure your carbon monoxide detector has batteries to prevent CO poisoning.
