Emergency Preparedness Checklist for Hurricane Season
Emergency Preparedness Checklist for Hurricane Season
Secure Your Power Source
A reliable power source is crucial during hurricanes. Evaluate your current generator situation — if you don't have one, consider investing in a high-quality model from The Generator House. Make sure your generator is in good condition, perform routine maintenance, and test it to ensure it’s ready to activate when you need it most.
Create an Emergency Supply Kit
Gather essentials to sustain you and your family for at least 72 hours without power. Your kit should include non-perishable food, water (one gallon per person, per day), any essential medications, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, and important documents. Don’t forget to include essential items for pets!
Stay Informed
Monitor the weather forecast and stay updated on any upcoming storm developments. Sign up for weather alerts through your phone or local news sources to receive timely updates. Understanding storm categories and potential impacts will help you make better decisions for your family and can help you know for sure if you’ll use your home generator system.
Plan Your Evacuation Route
If a hurricane threatens your area, know your evacuation routes in advance. Map out safe locations to stay and ensure your vehicle is fueled and ready to go. Share your plan with family and friends, so everyone knows where to go and what to do in case of an emergency.
