To prepare for a hurricane, your first step should be to plan early. Are you staying or going?
If you’re thinking of leaving, make sure you have an evacuation route. The gas tanks should be full in all of your vehicles, you should have your maps handy, your pets should be taken care of, and you should know exactly where you’re going and where you’re staying.
Once you know a hurricane’s coming, you should also leave sooner rather than later so you don’t risk getting stuck in traffic or at the end of long lines for gasoline.
If you plan on staying, make sure you stock up on supplies. There are a lot of things you’ll need during a hurricane that you’ll use the rest of the year anyway, such as water, dried goods, canned food, flashlights, batteries, a battery-powered radio, etc.
