You should always be prepared for an emergency at home but if you live in a known hurricane spot, then you undoubtedly need to get an emergency kit together before hurricane season comes.
Here are a few things you should get so you and your family are safe and well prepared.
The most important thing on everybody’s list is of course water and non perishable food items. There are emergency water packs you can buy which are handier than bottled water and they have a longer shelf life too. As for food, it’s best to find MREs for sale as this is the type of food that the U.S. military uses. MRE stands for Meals Ready To Eat so you know that these are “battle ready” food. MRE meals are self containing and easy to prepare. They can be eaten cold but everything tastes better hot. Thankfully, MREs contain their own flameless heating source.
Next, you should also have batteries on hand for your radios and flashlights. And speaking of these electronic items, make sure you have at least one flashlight for everybody.
If you need to evacuate right away, have some available cash ready. Cash is king and is accepted everywhere. Furthermore, it is also a good idea to get everyone’s important documents in order in one safe bundle. Make sure this storage is water and fire proof as well as in a secure place.
Finally, a lot of people view their pets as important family members too. Make sure you have their carrying case ready and pack enough food and water for them too in case you need to go in a hurry.
As the lessons of the past have taught us, it’s better to be self reliant than to rely on others or the government. By preparing for an any emergency, you can save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
