Your Hurricane Preparation Kit
What Every Floridian Should Have:
An Emergency Alert Radio so you can receive AM, FM, and official emergency warnings and information.
We recommend models with SAME technology, which provides additional alerts and text.
Two Sets Of Batteries for all your vital electronic devices, especially your radio and flashlights!
A Cellphone so that when the power is out, you can still communicate with your family and friends.
We also recommend a car adapter so you can use and charge your phone when the power is out.
At Least Two Flashlights so you can see when the power goes out. Don't forget two sets of batteries for each one!

We Also Recommend:

  • A Corded "Land Line" Phone - You can still make calls even when the power is out.
  • Power Inverter - to run your laptop and battery chargers from your car if you are displaced.
  • Surge Protectors - It's far cheaper to protect your home electronics than to replace them after a lightning zap!
  • GMRS/FRS 2-Way Radios - You can stay in touch with friends and family in the surrounding area. Some models include NOAA weather information.
  • Video or Digital Still Camera - Inventory your property before disaster or after the emergency for insurance or recovery purposes.
  • Home Security Back-up Batteries - If you lose power for an extended time.
