Popular Ways To Make The Perfect Prepping Kit For Hurricanes And Emergencies
Here in Central Florida we all know that with the benefits of lush tropical climate and gorgeous beaches from East to West, comes the responsibility to prepare responsibly for any hurricanes or weather-related emergencies. Now, luckily these are few and far between, but it is always a good idea to be prepared on the fly. For that reason, we’ve compiled some popular ways to create the perfect prepping kit for hurricanes and emergencies here in Florida.
Easy Grab: Home Kit
One of the easiest and most popular things to do when preparing for emergencies is to have an easy to grab kit that you keep in a special place in the house. This kit should include some of the essential recommended hurricane emergency items such as batteries, a flashlight, non-perishable food items, a waterproof ziplock to store essential documents, and other suggested items. To take things a step up, add another kit to an indoor/outdoor area around the house like a lanai or sunroom and create a mini easy grab kit for extra items. Make sure to let your family members know where these kits are located ahead of time so that if things get hectic, people know exactly where to go to grab essential needs.
Backpack Essentials
In the prepping world, backpacks are also highly recommended. Create emergency backpacks for yourself and other dependents and family members. You can include a change of clothes, hygiene items, mini essentials that are also included in the grab and go kit, and other personalized items for personal needs. These backpacks will not only save you time in the event of an emergency, it will also alleviate the unnecessary stress of having to pack in a rush. Keep these backpacks stored in specific rooms or even the rooms of each person the particular pack belongs to. This encourages a sense of empowerment and safety for everyone.
Custom Ways
Speaking of personalized backpacks, custom ways to prepare are the best ways to prepare. Of course we can tell you how to prepare your outdoor living space and pool area as well as key places around the home, but the truth is, only you know what you and your family need on a daily basis to feel safe and in control. Without a doubt, using proper emergency prep and hurricane prep guidelines and essentials are important, but when it comes to added details, only you know what works best–especially when it comes to your favorite nonperishable snacks. Don’t forget to pack a custom kit for your pets as well.
