Some Hurricane Irma preparations

Seeing as how the hurricane is destined to hit the east coast of Florida and possibly other parts of the US here’s a checklist of things you’ll need in case of a power outage.

• Flashlights, (battery operated) lanterns, candles
• Canned foods such as chili, soup, chef boyarde
• Peanut butter and bread
• Water both in bottles & gallons
• Dry pet food for your pets
• Charcoal or firewood
• Matches and lighters
• Batteries in AA, AAA & 6V
• Tampons, pads, and deodorant
• A portable phone charger for each member of your family
• Bags of ice + coolers
• Toilet paper
• 5 Gallon gas can
• A waterproof wrist watch
• First Aid Kit
• Bug Spray
• Books, playing cards, and board games (trust me, during a power outage it gets boring AF bc time feels like it’s running slow)

Also somethings to do before the Hurricane hits you

• Make sure to do all your laundry – there’s nothing worse then having no fresh clothes to wear because of no power.
• Set all your Soundcloud/Spotify playlists on offline mode – some good music will help make the hurricane less dreadful
• Now is the time to finish up that jug of milk and empty your fridge of anything that could spoil/rot without refrigeration.
• Hours before the hurricane hits, If you have a bath tub fill it up so that you can get running water for your toilet.
• Make sure you have cash on you and that your wallet contains your state ID
