Living in South Florida has its rewards and setbacks. Especially in recent years to become a hurricane setbacks. To reduce some of the effort it is imperative to prepare in advance and have a plan of action.
Long before the threat is upon you, it's good to call a box of important papers. If you typically keep papers such as birth certificates, marriage licenses and insurance papers in a special folder that you may want to have prints on file and the originals ready to go in a waterproof container. There may also have some pictures or precious family memories that you do not want damaged or lost.
Getting a list of important things at a time when you are not rushed. That way you can bring forth the thought out. Keep the list on the refrigerator, and when you think of anything else to add it. Now put a copy of this list in your container waterproof. When packing up to evacuate or to crouch down just to storm to you that you can take extra precautions with things most needed and valuable.
In your container, you might include a flashlight, a battery powered radio, a list of medicines with dosages, some rags, rain ponchos, re-charger cell first aid kit and extra batteries. A list of important phone numbers is also extremely important. Numbers such as your insurance agent, the neighbor, doctors, local authorities are examples of those you may need. If you're forced to or choose to evacuate, you can make contact from there where you end up.
Never, never take these things out of the container except for the update. How many times we have had him he did need something, cleaned our supply does not have it only when we needed him most?
Just taking a few moments at a time not critical can save us unworthy of a dispute during a critical time. If you must evacuate or you choose you'll have peace of mind knowing that the truly important things are already taken into account.
