HOUSTON — June 1 marks the official start of hurricane season, but there are things you can do ahead of time to prepare, such as making your kit and having a plan.
A hurricane kit is great to have on stand by for any severe weather that comes our way.
Here is a list of items that should be included. Some items you may have seen or heard of and other items will probably surprise you.
- water
- non-perishable food
- non-perishable baby food
- medication
- trash bags
- paper and pens
- cash
- face masks
- batteries
- flashlights
- baby diapers and wipes
- sleeping bag, blankets
- Coloring books, board games, playing cards or other non-digital forms of entertainment
Most people don't think it will ever happen to them. Living in Texas, you just can't think that way. So it is a good idea you prepare ahead of time. We've already had our first named storm in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Ana, and the season doesn't kick off until next week.
