Be Prepared for Hurricane Irene
Posted On: Thursday, August 25, 2011
In Anticipation of Hurricane Irene I have accumulated some information that may be helpful or that you may have overlooked.
Everyone tells you to have bottled water,It isrecommended to have 1 gallon per person per day;batteries and working flashlights,candles and matches. Make sure your gas tank and washer fluids are filled.
A few more things that most people forget: 1) have your cell phone,laptop,IPad,Kindle,Nooks and game boy’s fully charged. 2) A manually operated can opener and ice cubes in quantity to help keep freezer cold in case power goes out. 3) You should also have at least a three day supply of any medications you take, as well as your favorite canned and dry goods and don’t forget the first aid kit. 4)) don’t overlook your pets needs ie: food,treats and water.
Always keep in mind heavy rain and winds can cause power outages,downed wires and tree damage.
Stay indoors and be safe.
