Storm Ready Guide

We know this is a lot to take in. And sure, you may feel like you already know it all.

But when an emergency happens, what you know and what you actually remember can be very different.

That’s why we’re here: to help create steady reminders during the peak of hurricane season and to keep important information flowing.

Car Preparedness

Emergency Kit : Flashlight, blanket, jumper cables power bank even an emergency window breaker.
Gas : Don't wait until the storm is almost here to fill up your tank, get it early. Be ready in case we must evacuate the island.
Car Maintenance: Check your tires, oil, and tune-ups now. You don’t want to find out something is wrong when you’re stuck in evacuation traffic.

Yard Waste : Trim bushes, trees, and plants now, while there’s no storm threat. This reduces debris and helps prevent stormwater drain blockages and flooding issues.
Low-Cost Prep: Add one nonperishable food item to your disaster kit each time you shop. Over time, you’ll build a strong supply without breaking your budget.
Children : A supply kit should include more than just the essentials.
Families should also include items that bring comfort during an emergency: Toys, Tablets/iPads (fully charged) and comfort items.

Food & Water: Stock enough food and water for several days (at least 3–5 days).
Medications: Keep extra doses of any prescribed medications your pet needs.
Comfort & Safety Items: Bring their favorite toy, blanket, or bed to reduce stress.
Identification: Ensure collars and tags are up to date. Consider microchipping if not already done.
Evacuation Readiness: Have a sturdy carrier or leash ready. Many shelters require pets to be crated.
Sanitation Supplies: Don’t forget waste bags, litter, or puppy pads.
