EMERGENCY KIT CHECKLIST

It’s important to be storm ready from the beginning of Hurricane Season. 
Make sure your emergency preparedness kit is packed full of essentials, from non-perishable foods, drinking water, hygiene items, first aid items, baby supplies and pet supplies (if applicable).

Tips!
1: plan to have at least a 3-day supply of non-perishable food available.
2: store at least 1 gallon of water per day for each person and each pet, with a minimum of a 3-day supply.
