Hurricane preparedness is similar to preparation for other natural disasters. Keep a stock of the following:
- Cash
- food - three to five days worth per person, in cans or jars.
- water - half gallon to a gallon per person for three to five days.
- clothing, with sturdy shoes.
- Flashlights
- Batteries
- first aid kit
- blankets
Individual preparation will also depend on the structure in which you will shelter.
If your shelter is twenty feel or less above sea level, or if the structure is wooden, make evacuation plans and keep the fuel level of your vehicle above half a tank at all times. Install hurricane shutters over windows, or purchase plywood to install before the storm. Tape all windows diagonally with fiber or electrical tape.

People should prepare for a hurricane by creating an emergency plan that includes evacuation routes and an emergency kit with essential supplies such as food, water, medication, and batteries. They should secure their property by boarding up windows, trimming trees, and bringing in outdoor furniture. It's also important to stay informed about weather updates and heed any evacuation orders from local authorities.
