Do you know what September is?? No, not the month after August and before October (ok, yeah you're right...but not this time), but its the half-way point during hurricane season. Remember, June 1 - Nov 30 (OK smart aleck....September 15 is the 1/2 mark...you satisfied???)
Do we know for sure that we are not going to get hit with one? Nope! But not all of us are prepared for it either. What supplies do we need to have at hand?
Let's go with the basics:
- Canned food
- Bottled water
- First Aid kits
- Emergency Evacuation Plan/Route (hopefully we do't need it though)
- Supplies and food for our pets
- Solar chargers for cellphones and other electronics
- Containers for collecting water
- Anything else that you think that you may need! (Make-up does not count ladies!)
Get together with family members and see if they need any help. Same thing with neighbors. Some of us don't have the luxury to be home during this time due to our professions (yep, we still work in the law enforcement community during these times) so any help that we get from others is ALWAYS greatly appreciated and returned in kind.
We always hope that we don't get hit with one. Just look at the devastation that Irene just left, but we need to make sure that we are ready for anything. Make sure that YOU are!
