Preparedness
|
When I am speaking to civic and school groups about hurricane preparedness, I ask this simple question:
"If I came over to your house right now and turned off your power and gas and drained your car of gasoline, do you have EVERYTHING you need to survive for at LEAST 3 days without any intervention from anyone?"
If you can't answer yes, then get to the store and get the things you need so that you can.
As far as property preparation, the American Red Cross has a wealth of tips about that on their website.
