What types of stuff do you need when a hurricane hits?

Answer 1

For Potential hurricane conditions, having lived thru three of the largest ever to landfall in the U>S>, one needs a small generator but the bigger the better, lots of non-perishable quick-fix food stuffs, lots of potable water, all the extra gasoline as possible, heavy duty first-aid kits, flashlights, candles, a place to cook outdoors. A generator will keep small appliances running for ice, refrig., etc and emergency lighting. If in the path of the storm or near to it, light tarps, the bigger the better for roof damage, light sheets of plywood to fix of the windows(before the storm hits) and for afterward for any damaged windows. An outdoor cooking system is nearly a necessity, such as a butane cooking setup. Chainsaws, axes/hatchets, matches, raingear are very necessary.

Answer 2

First is distance from the storm. When you are told to evacuate. Do so.

If you can't then you will need the following:

Fresh water for drinking. The last hurricane that came through my area, we were without water for two weeks.

Non perishable food. Canned or freeze dried.

Camp stove to cook the above mentioned foor. (fuel)

Flashlights. (batteries)

Portable radio. (more batteries)

First Aid kit.

Cell phone.

Toilet paper. You don't know how important it is till you run out.

Your best bet is to leave the area. Those that stay only add to the problem of loss of life, rescue, short supplies, and worry.

Answer 3

Blankets, shelter, wireless radios, candles, flashlights, extra water, first aid kit, medicines, and non perishable food items including pet food if you have pets. Include what to do with pets in your emergency planning. They need to be kept with you and kept safe too.

Answer 4

You should have:

• Flashlights and extra batteries
• Battery-operated radio and extra batteries
• First aid kit with instructions
• Non-perishable food (with manual can opener)
• Plenty of drinking water

• Sturdy shoes (you may have to walk in debris)

Answer 5

"There are many items that are required for an emergency preparedness kit during a hurricane, but the two most important things are food and water. Non perishable foods are a good idea due to likely loss of power. Some other items are clothing, blankets, medications, battery operated flashlight and spare batteries. These are just some of the items needed, but you can find various sites with a more complete list."

Answer 6

I would recommend some basic food, nothing frozen or has to be refrigerated,

Some suggestions are: Water, bread, snacks, and some other items.

Now safety wise, go inside a small room, that doesn't have too much things in it, bring blankets and pillows in there, bring nothing that has electricity.

Hope this helped!
