Living in Houston, you get a little used to preparing for storms and hurricanes, but here are some suggestions of things to pick up, just in case you’ve forgotten:
- Drinking water
- Cash
- Non-perishabled food items
- Medications and First Aid
- Clothing and Toiletries
- Battery-powered radio
- Flashlight with extra batteries
- Important Documents (insurance, medical records, bank account numbers)
- Fill your gas tanks
Be sure to continually monitor your surroundings and by all means please don’t take any unnecessary chances. Stay away from areas that are prone to flooding and if you happen to be driving, do not drive through rising water. It’s not worth it.
