I agree with one exception, if you are inside the tidal surge area, you may want to evacuate. Otherwise, prep by using hurricane tie down straps on your roof, tape and plywood over windows and doors, trim off dead branches in trees, small pile of sandbags ready if needed.
Otherwise:
- extra tarps
- rope and twine
- extra water and rations for 5 days
- power generator
- extra fuel
- propane (remember to bring the grill inside during the hurricane)
- clean up the yard
- wash the laundry before the power goes out
- get Clorox wipes and baby wipes for improvised showers
- have a working chainsaw / ax / bow saw
- extra trash bags
Wonderful advise, Let me add a few items:
Ar15 semi or comparable with 300 rounds ammo
12 gauge shot gun 5o rounds of double ott, 3 inch mags
side arm of you choice with back up clips ( Magazines)
5000 watt gasoline generator with 30 gallons of fuel and extension cords.
food
beer
Your fixed!!
