Getting Ready Recommendations From TropicsWatch Meteorologist
Meteorologist Mark Mathieson of ImpactWeather urges residents to prepare a hurricane plan at oneStorm. He notes the garage door as a weak point and recommends a garage door brace from SecureDoor. He warns against window taping and favors 3/4 inch plywood. For non evacuees, stock nonperishable food and one gallon water per person daily. Evacuees should fill prescriptions, prepare a first aid kit, and have cash. Important documents and valuables belong in waterproof containers. For extended outages, have battery fans, a generator, and a CO detector. ReadyKit offers all in one kits and LED lighting is advised. Water storage systems can be found at MyWaterSafe.
