Getting Ready for Disasters

As hurricane season nears and we already have had a summer full of odd stormy things, time to review your disaster preparation kits - see Get Ready! Disaster Preparedness Time!

And Are You Prepared for a Hurricane? Earthquake? Flood?:

Plan for 3 to 5 days on your own. It takes that long to mobilize help.

Remember to have tools with which to dig out from under and to move things from driveways, roads and off important things.

A couple of additions: A Self-Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger

and a good bow saw.

Water. Water. Water. Don't forget there are probably 40 or more gallons of nice clean water in your home water heater.
