1
00:00:07.250 --> 00:00:09.290
<v 0>Hurricane watch is no time to panic.</v>

2
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:12.140
You still have 48 hours before hurricane force.

3
00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:13.730
Winds are supposed to reach your area.

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.090
What you want to do is listen to the national hurricane center and your local

5
00:00:17.090 --> 00:00:18.200
emergency officials,

6
00:00:18.530 --> 00:00:21.680
but there are some things you can do beforehand to make your life easier.

7
00:00:23.570 --> 00:00:27.320
You don't want to be like her hurricane season begins June 1st and runs through

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.430
November 30th. So if you live in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida,

9
00:00:31.430 --> 00:00:33.020
all the way up the Eastern seaboard,

10
00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:36.830
you want to be prepared when a hurricane watches issue and you want to make sure

11
00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:40.220
you get gas and money. You can make your life a lot easier.

12
00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:41.450
If you have a plan and.

13
00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:42.230
<v 1>A kit together,</v>

14
00:00:42.230 --> 00:00:44.810
these are some of the things I've gathered over the years and things that you

15
00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:48.800
might want to consider having in your kit, wet naps,

16
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.220
just in case you're somewhere that doesn't have running water, light sticks.

17
00:00:52.910 --> 00:00:55.280
This is a tiny thermal blanket. It might come in handy.

18
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.420
If you have to go to a shelter raincoat for obvious reasons,

19
00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:03.590
rain pants, a gallon of water per day, per person. And again,

20
00:01:03.590 --> 00:01:08.330
for three days also carry a backpack with enough clothes for three days,

21
00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:16.490
key thing is having enough light. This is a light and NOAA weather, radio,

22
00:01:16.850 --> 00:01:18.800
and a charger for your cell phone.

23
00:01:19.820 --> 00:01:23.540
You want to have your important documents somewhere safe, like in a Ziploc bag.

24
00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:26.810
This might be a little strange, but I packed this. It's a sarong.

25
00:01:26.810 --> 00:01:31.100
You can use it as a towel. You can use it. Um, if you want to change modestly,

26
00:01:31.100 --> 00:01:33.530
if you're in a shelter, rain boots,

27
00:01:35.630 --> 00:01:40.130
this is just in case you get in trouble. It's a whistle has a compass on it.

28
00:01:40.490 --> 00:01:42.740
And I also have waterproof matches.

29
00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:46.940
Bottom line is nobody wants to deal with the hurricane,

30
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.720
but you can make it easier on yourself by being prepared and never underestimate

31
00:01:50.720 --> 00:01:51.320
mother nature.
