Both the National Hurricane Center and the American Red Cross have
developed specific guidelines for Hurricane supply kits. A hurricane
survival kit is merely a specialized version of your disaster supply
kit. It should include provisions to carry you through a week or two
after a storm or other disaster. Our hurricane preparation page
includes additional recommendations based on experiences of real
people who have been through similar situations. Remember, the more
water, food, and other items you have the better off you will be in
the event of an emergency.

You will be able to assist family and friends if needed.

Some companies include pre-assembled survival kits that include water
purification tablets and more. They can be useful in addition to your
own kit.

Our own version increases some of their recommendations and includes
some additional items that are helpful in our experience.

Remember to print hard copy of any documents you need - instructions,
tips or anything in case you have no power.

Water - at least 1 gallon daily per person for 7 to 10 days. Katrina
and Wilma should have emphasized the importance of having sufficient
water on hand. Don't forget some for your pets.
Food - at least enough for 3 to 7 days
— non-perishable packaged or canned food / juices
— foods for infants or the elderly
— snack foods (Peanut butter; mixed PBJ; breakfast bars; crackers;
canned fruit; raisins; chips;
— non-electric can opener
— cooking tools / fuel
— paper plates / plastic utensils / paper cups
— trash bags and duct tape - useful for clean-up, or patching leaks in
an emergency
An ax to use if you stay and need to escape from your house - or other
uses
Blankets / Pillows, etc.
Clothing - seasonal / rain gear/ sturdy shoes
First Aid Kit / Medicines / Prescription Drugs
Special Items - for babies and the elderly
Toiletries / Hygiene items / Moisture wipes
Bug spray, Cortisone for bug bites
Sunscreen & Lotion
Tarp to cover holes if needed.
Bleach
Water purification tablets
Waterless soap saves water for drinking
Flashlight / Batteries
Radio - Battery operated and NOAA weather radio
Battery operated television, with extra batteries.
Cash - Banks and ATMs may not be open or available for extended
periods. Make sure you have small bills because it will often be
difficult to get change, I you only have a $100 and water is $10 for a
case and you are limited to one case, you do not want to have the
choice of paying $100 or having no water.
Keys to house, cars, boats etc
Toys, Books and Games
Important documents - in a waterproof container or watertight
resealable plastic bag
— insurance, medical records, bank account numbers, Social Security
card, etc. Don't forget your re-entry documents (e.g. stickers or
passes). Many barrier islands require some documentation in order to
return. Keep important phone number here. You may know them, but a
loved one may not.
Tools - keep a set with you during the storm. A pocket knife, nails, a
hammer and rope are important elements. Towels and buckets are useful
too if you develop a leak.
Vehicle fuel tanks filled
Pet care items
— proper identification / immunization records / medications
— ample supply of food and water
— a carrier or cage
— muzzle and leash
Hurricane Tips
If you can't get cell reception, move to high ground and you may be
able to reach towers that are in working condition.
Have a non-cordless plug in phone (a no-frills, phone that only plugs
into the phone outlet and does not need its own power supply). Often
phone lines will work, but without power, corldess phones will not
work.

Why, oh why, do virtually NONE of these disaster supply lists recommend a
functioning firearm and ample ammunition? What the hell good is all that
stuff if the goblins can simply take it away from you?
