If you are in a hurricane prone area, what do you do you to prepare ?
My list is:
- Buy a dozen cans of beans (kidney, navy, black, etc) - I usually use dry beans when I make them
- Buy a dozen cans of Spaghetti-O's - I never eat them but I figure they'll be yummy at a hurricane party
- Stop buying things that need to be frozen; start using the things that are already in my freezer (I call it "the purge")
- Put together my evac kit - paper photos are in two plastic bins; backup disc kept up to date; manual can open and aforementioned beans and Spaghetti-Os centrally located in pantry
- Keep 3 gallons of distilled water (for the dog and the bird) on hand at all times
- Keep 3 weeks worth of food for the dog and bird at all times
- Check the plywood shutters ... this is going to be a problem for me this year since we moved and I never got shutters for this house. I'm finally looking into impact glass - too late for this year !
- Sort all my collectables so that the ones most dear to me are close together so I can take them with me if I want
- Make a list of things to do in case of evac
