Hurricane Survival Kit

Hurricane Survival Kit


by Dr. Rick Knabb Essential Items

During a hurricane, and possibly for days or even weeks afterward, electricity and other utilities might not be available. Debris and/or water might block the roads, preventing vehicles from getting in our out of your neighborhood. Help might not reach you for days after the hurricane, so you’ll need to be completely self-sufficient during that period.

Here are some of the most critical supplies to have on hand, well before a hurricane threatens:

At least a 3-day and preferably a 7-day supply of water (one gallon per person per day)


Non-perishable food


Formula, diapers, and other baby supplies


Manual can opener


First aid kit


Prescription and non-prescription medicines


Toiletries


Cell phones and battery-powered cell phone chargers


Battery-powered radios and flashlights


Plenty of batteries


Extra cash


Blankets, sleeping bags, books, and games (especially if evacuating)
