Hurricane Season has just started. I have been preparing for it. I have a lot of things I already own but are planning to get more. Because of some the experiences I have you can't be too prepared.
I have always been prepared for storms. The reason is because of where I live. Since I live on the southern part of the US, I have seen a lot of storms.

Some have gone by. Others have caused major damages or outages in my area. One of the worst was Matthew. Which caused damage to my parents' home.
Since that has happened, I have been ready. I keep my bags packs packed. In case I have to leave my home. I also keep supplies on hand. The supplies I need and they things I want to protect, just in case the worst happens.
This list is made for incase the lights go out. I also included things if there is damage. I also include things you may need if you get injured.
That is why I am sharing with you some of the items on my list. I also give you some more suggestions. Inexpensive items that you get from your local dollar store.
Disclaimer: If you don't experience Hurricanes, you experience some weather event in your area. It can be fire, floods, snowstorms, etc.
If you don't experience any weather event, then you are lucky. You can still use these things if you go camping or the lights go out.
Most of the things I added, are things that you may already have in your home. For example, batteries for any device you may own. Your flashlights and radios.
You can also get small little lights from Dollar Tree. You can use them by your bed side. If the lights, go out it would really help. I have a few that are in my room now.
If you need cleaning products. You can also try to get some from dollar stores. Cleaning brushes, scrubbers, or mops. You will need cleaning items just in case you experience any damage to your home.
Thermal Hot and Cold bags are another thing you can get. If you have anything that needs to be kept cold, you can keep in there.
Now let us get to the items. The things you don't won't from dollar stores.
1.USB Fan If the lights go out, you will need this. Get a fan that you can charge with usb.
3. I brought a pair of boots like these. They will come in handy if you have a storm. This will protect your feet from any water or mud.
