Hey Houston, it’s hurricane season. Don’t be a dolt and wait until the last minute. Get what you need now.
At the very least, go pick up a few big jugs of water from the grocery store next time you’re out, and some canned food.
Here’s a more complete list (from ready.gov):
Water – one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
Food – at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert
Flashlight
First aid kit
Extra batteries
Whistle to signal for help
Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
Manual can opener for food
Local maps
Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
