Hurricane Kit Must Haves {Printable}

Hurricanes are a part of life here in America. There are some things that you can do and keep on hand so you are ready when a storm strikes. Firstly, you need to make sure you have home insurance, as it will help you to recover any costs associated with repairing damage to your belongings when a hurricane hits. You can take a look at these Wisconsin homeowners insurance quotes to get an idea of how much this will cost, and it’s well worth the investment. Hurricanes are unpredictable and can change tracks on a moment’s notice. It’s best to create a Hurricane Kit each year and keep it handy in case you need it. It is something that you can assemble before the start of the hurricane season and keep tucked away. One other thing to make sure you’re as prepared as you can be with hurricanes is checking on your insurance policy to see what is covered inside and outside of your home. During times like this, it can be a worrying thought to not know if you are protected in case something happens to your home, having an insurance policy can help with paying for damages and sorting out repairs, look online at www.simplyinsurance.com/ to see how they can help you with an insurance quote and which company would suit you best.

We use a plastic tote with a cover. In the summer before hurricane season we assemble it and test all the flashlights, radio, fire extinguisher to make sure they work. I would advise everyone else to do the same. If you don’t have fire equipment, it might be an idea to find a reputable fire equipment company and get some suitable equipment. You can find out more information about fire extinguishers and other fire equipment on any fire equipment company’s website. I then stock up on supplies. If we have a hurricane I know we are ready. If we don’t get a hurricane by the time hurricane season ends I have extra items for when we need them. Stay safe!
