Okay I have been through many Hurricanes . Start Packing early . Even if you never use it you will still have it . \n1. Allot of water \n2. ICE Lots \n3. If you have a pool use the bad nasty water to flush your toilets .\n4.Flash lights Lots of new batters \n5. If they say there's  going to be a hurricane try to take a shower the night before . Don't put on or wear any make up .\nCause who knows when you'll get to take a shower next . \n6. Probable TV Radio with new batters \n7.Some thing to do to pass time like broad games \n8. If your taking any medication make sure you have enough.\n9. Can foods \n10 Gill get everything for a grill \n11. Candles \n13. Matches Lighters \n14 frist  AID Kit \n15. Bord up windows \n16. The light Spray bottles that run on Batters that you put water in . \n\nStuff like that you may not use it right away but you'll be happy when you have it ..

I would bring my husbands friend, Mark. He just got back from Iraq as an infantryman, his survival skills are the best. I would bring a box of waterproof matches, a waterproof poncho that could be used as a tent,, the book "The Way Things Work", a handgun and either a Leatherman or Swiss Army knife.

Yes, we put up window protection and keep flashlights, batteries, etc. on hand.  We have a gas grill we can cook on after the storm passes, and a generator. A really good link to guide you in preparations is http://www.palmbeachpost.com/storm/content/storm/getready/.\n\nFlorida is having a sales tax break for hurricane supplies May 21 - June 1.

my son is there now.......pack as light as possible, but;\n1.  Take bottles to carry plenty of water, you are at altitude and it is dry and you must stay hydrated.\n2.  Rain suit, not just poncho, violent thunderstorms are not uncommon.\n3.  Water filter, they will give you disinfectant tablets but you will still want to filter the water for "chunks".\n4.  Sunscreen, bug juice.\n5.  Layers - it can be 90 in the day and 30 at night.\n6.  Your troop should have plenty of guidelines available.  You also should have gotten the field manual.  READ IT AND FOLLOW IT.  This is not kid's stuff...you are in the outback for a week or more.

Keep a selection of canned goods, Bottled water, candles, Flashlights, a basic first aid kit, dry clothing and blankets. Allow enough for 5 days for the whole family and add enough for an extra person so as you wont go short. Also some cash as teller machines could be out for a while. Other than that Things are specific for each type of disaster. (you need other things for a earthquake than for a tidal wave or volcanic explosion.

I would go to a pet store and ask for guidance. They carry salt water fish, etc and would know what you needed to sustain life for marine life.

Good question: I feel that every home should have fire extinguishers, emergency water, clothing, hand sanitizer, Lysol spray,dried foods, flashlights and batteries, radio(battery operated), clean clothing, and a set of papers they may need.\nBlankets and pillows.

there should be assorted bandages, adhesive tapes, rolls of gauze, gauze pads, antibiotic ointments (single packs keep them sterile), antiseptic whipes, iodine whipes, ammonia inhalant pads, cold packs, scissors, tweezers, latex or non-latex gloves, first aid booklet. And I'm not sure if keeping oxygen is legal or not, If your not sure by now, check with an ambulance service or city hall, or even police to double check. I've heard that you need a prescription to have Oxygen unless it's in a health-care facility or you are medical personnell.\nStandard first aid kits come with all this and sometimes more, and also include the booklet about each product in them for you.   I hope this helped!

Go to the local homeless shelter and they will set you up with all the info you need. Not to mention some food, clothing, and probably a hot shower.

While it definitely depends on the situation, there are some things that you can/should have regardless of the disaster type.  Some things to keep in min as suggestions are: a couple gallons of water, spare clothes, non-perishable food, and some way of getting news information, like a battery-powered radio.  If you find a list of things to have at home in case of a disaster, the list for work is very similar.
