Have a go-kit ready.
9/3/2021 (Permalink)
"Anything that would be deemed critical not only for survival but your everyday usage," says Willis, of what to put in a go-kit.
Some of her recommendations of what to include:
- nonperishable food and water to last a week
- a full tank of gas if you are evacuating in a personal vehicle
- spare car keys
- cash, "because banks and ATMs may not be available after the storm has passed"
- a two-week supply of medications and medical supplies you use, such as insulin and needles
- cell phones, chargers and spare batteries
- hygiene items such as soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, toilet paper, feminine products, face masks, first-aid kit, baby wipes, diapers or other supplies for children
- battery-operated emergency radio, flashlight and rain gear
- important household papers: identification, bank numbers, credit card information, insurance policies, a list of important phone numbers and documents to prove homeownership or lease agreement
