Prepare for a Hurricane

Most people think preparedness means buying a lot of gear.

It doesn’t.

• Preparedness is a system.
• A flashlight helps.
• A generator helps.
• A bug out bag helps.

But the real goal is building overlapping layers that continue working when one part fails.

Preparedness works best when:

• power fails
• roads close
• stores run out
• cell towers go down
• plans change

The stronger your layers, the less stress you experience.

Grab-and-go essentials.

Staying safely at home.

Core supplies every household needs.

Printable planning tools.

Prepare your transportation before it’s needed.

Physical readiness matters too.

Fuel

Medications

Important Documents

Cash

These four cause problems every hurricane season.

You don’t need everything this week.
