Are You Ready for Hurricane Season?

Now that hurricane season has officially started, it’s always a good idea to be prepared when you live in North Carolina. Here is a checklist that can help before a storm hits.

  • Trim the limbs in your yard.
  • Clean your gutters.
  • If you have a chainsaw, make sure it is in working order.
  • Buy a manual can opener.
  • Buy a battery-operated radio.
  • Take digital pictures and/or video of your home and store them in “the cloud.”
  • This is not the season for a well-stocked freezer!

If there is a storm brewing in the tropics, take these steps:

  • Stock up on non-perishable food.
  • Stock up on bottled water. 3 gallons per person per day for a minimum of 3 days is the standard recommendation.
  • Stock up on toilet paper.
  • Stock up on things your children need.
  • Collect things your pets need, i.e., food, water, leashes, carriers, shot records.
  • Refill any medications.
  • Buy batteries.
  • Do your laundry. May sound silly, but you’ll be grateful for clean clothes if you’re without power for an extended period.
  • Keep your gas tank full.
  • Make sure your gas grill bottle is full or you have plenty of charcoal, lighter, and matches.

If it looks like a tropical system may hit our area:

  • Put away any loose items in your yard, such as chairs, etc.
  • Stockpile and/or buy ice.
  • Make sure you have cash on hand.
  • Collect important papers–insurance, etc.–together in an airtight plastic bag.
  • Check to see if your neighbors need assistance with preparation.
