Hurricane season starts June 1st. Do you have your disaster kit ready?

When a storm is on the way, store shelves empty fast and delivery windows close. The time to stock up is now, while you still have options.

NOAA recommends having enough supplies to sustain every member of your household for a minimum of 3 days, with more being better given that power and water can be out for weeks after a storm passes.

Here is what to have on hand:
• Non-perishable food, water, and medications for at least 3 days per person
• Battery-powered radio, flashlights, and extra batteries
• A portable crank or solar-powered charger for your cell phone
• Extra cash, since ATMs and card readers may be unavailable
• Food, water, and supplies for your pets

Start with the basics and build from there. June 1st is closer than it seems.
