Free Essentials Kit

The complete Essentials Kit is planned as a printable collection of hurricane checklists and planning worksheets. It will bring together the steps for preparing your home and vehicle, organizing important information, and deciding what to take if you evacuate.

The complete kit is still in development. The checklists linked later on this page are available now.

You can use the checklists linked below while the complete Essentials Kit is being prepared. They help you identify missing supplies, organize your home and vehicle, and make an evacuation plan before a storm is approaching.

Start with one list and work through it at your own pace.

The printable Essentials Kit is still in development. You can start preparing now with our Home Prep List, Vehicle Prep List, and Evacuation List.

If you may need to leave by car, use the Hurricane Evacuation Car Kit for a more detailed packing guide and printable checklist.
