(AP Photo/Eric Gay) Supplies are a critical part of every family’s health and safety and should be gathered well in advance of hurricane season each year. Printable hurricane supply checklist, Once a storm is imminent, time to shop will be limited, and if supplies are even available, you will have to search for them. It’s advised you have enough supplies to get you and your family through five days on your own. Starting with water each person needs one gallon of water per day for drinking and sanitation. That’s five gallons for one person – or 20 gallons for a family of four. Many residents of Southwest Florida experienced shortages on plywood, batteries, flashlights, water, generators and other such storm necessities during the recent busy hurricane seasons. Each time a storm was predicted to make landfall near Southwest Florida, lines were long, shelves were bare, and stress levels were high. MORE: Do-It-Yourself Home Preparations It pays to be prepared! Supplies can be divided into several categories, but the essentials should be gathered and kept easily accessible throughout the hurricane season. Before worrying about fitting that all in one trip to the store – you can start buying one or two gallons of water with each shopping trip. Be sure to place the items that you will most likely need for an evacuation in an easy-to carry container. Keep gas tanks full. Keep cash on hand. Banks may not be open, ATMs may not be accessible, debit cards and credit cards may not be accepted if power is lost. Gather the essentials: One gallon of water per person per day. Additional water for food preparation and sanitation. Bags of ice. Supplies will be severely limited once a storm strikes. Partially fill plastic one-liter or larger soft drink bottles with water and place in the freezer. The bottles will freeze without cracking (stronger plastic than one gallon water bottles). If the power goes out, the frozen water will help keep the freezer cool and when the ice melts, the water will be drinkable. Keep gas tanks full. Supplies may be severely limited once a storm strikes. Keep cash on hand. Banks may not be open, ATMs may not be accessible, debit cards and credit cards may not be accepted if power is lost.
