Whether you are able to weather out the storm at home or have to leave... These things are VERY important... just... in.... case...
They do not mention it in this particular resource, but now-a-days you can get a LOT of information by cell phone. the problem would be a power outage... I bought a nifty little device by ANKER a while back that will charge my cell phone, twice fully, should I end up without power.
Don't forget your pets as well! Rule of thumb is one gallon of water per person per day. But your furry family friends also require water and food... Do not forget a manual can opener.
Do not forget medications
There are some fantastic options for purifying water at home or on the go. Some neat options are also available to keep huge amounts of water safe and pure right in your own bath tub... Something you might want to consider for the future.
Once you realize you are in the path of a hurricane, be sure to gas up that car, truck or van. Evacuation paths such as highways and such tend to get VERY congested. It may be a while before you can actually exit to get to a gas station in certain circumstances.
Follow instructions - As a former firefighter and Response Team Member during hurricanes, getting in trouble by not following directions not only puts your life at risk, but ours... Trust me... We would lay our life down for you without a second thought... But we would rather go home to our families in a week *winks*
You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Be safe and remember to check in if and when you can so we know you are safe and will be sailing the Caribbean with us again soon! *hugs*
