It is important to create a supply kit that you can take with you if you are forced to evacuate. This hurricane preparation kit will also be useful if you are able to stay in your home, but are still affected by the storm, especially if there is a loss of power. A common trend seen when hurricanes are approaching is statewide panic. Large numbers of individuals rush to obtain supplies they think they need. Hurricane preparation should begin on June 1, the first day of hurricane season. If you prepare ahead of time, you potentially relieve a lot of stress in a rather chaotic situation.
