Hurricane season doesn’t officially start until June 1st, but it’s critical to have ample time to prepare in the event a disaster strikes.
FOX10 News spoke to several locals who say they are well-accustomed to preparing for hurricanes, but it takes careful preparation.
”It was kinda scary, we were indoors and all you could hear was thunder and it felt like you were gonna die,” said someone. “Get you some flashlights, batteries, candles, canned food and stuff, because you’re gonna need that stuff when the power goes out,” said another. “Board up windows, have hurricane shutters,” he added. “Just the basic supply kit with necessities you’d need everyday- several gallons of water, per person, per day. A big one is medication, a lot of times you want to get that refilled.”
