Charlie McKenna, head of New Jersey’s Homeland Security Department, warns residents to prepare early for Hurricane Irene.
Here is a checklist of things to do before Irene’s suspected arrival late Saturday:
Top off gas tanks. If power is knocked out, gas pumps and ATMs
won’t work.
Have a working flashlight and batteries handy.
Have a battery-operated radio (to be able to listen to news
reports about the storm).
Fill drug prescriptions.
Have a first-aid kit at home.
Stock supplies of water and nonperishable food for 5 days. An
adequate water supply is 1 gallon of water per person per day.
Stock baby formula and diapers, if there are babies at home.
Heed evacuation orders from the Office of Emergency Management.
