HURRICANE SAFETY CHECKLIST

vthwreatt — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:50:23 +0000

The most important thing you can do as hurricane season
approaches is to get yourself, your family and your home prepared.

	Checklists
	FOOD AND WATER FIRST AID AND NON-PRESCRIPTION DRUGS TOOLS AND SUPPLIES SANITATION, CLOTHING AND BEDDING SPECIAL ITEMS POSSESSIONS AND DOCUMENTS

By starting early, you’ll avoid the rush at home supply stores, grocery stores and other venues typically crowded and often chaotic when hurricane watches and warnings are issued.

You should stock six basics for your home: water, food, first aid supplies, clothing and bedding, tools and emergency supplies, and special items. Keep the items you would most likely need during an evacuation in an easy-to carry container—suggested items are marked with an asterisk (*). Possible containers include a large, covered trash container, a camping backpack, or a duffle bag.

Make your preparations easier by downloading the checklists included with each category and use them as you shop and store your supplies.
