No Panicking, Just Be Prepared!

With Hurricane Irene approaching I wanna give you guys as much resources as possible in order to make sure ya'll are prepared.  Make sure you have a substantial supply of:

  • water (rule of thumb- 1 gallon per person...per day...at least a 3 day supply)
  • non-perishable food (tuna, granola bars, peanut butter, dry cereal, crackers, dried fruit, dry milk, infant formula/food, canned juices)
  • manual can-opener
  • flashlight 
  • batteries (to preserve battery power, don't insert in flashlight unless you need to use it) 
  • first aid kit
  • any important medications
Pack a "go" bag in case you need to evacuate in short notice.  Check out Ready.gov for details.

Gather important documents and place in a zip-lock bag (birth certificate, social security card, immunization records, bank account info, etc.)


KNOW YOUR CLOSEST EVACUATION ROUTE!  CLICK HERE for a map of evacuation centers with-in the NYC 5 boroughs.  

Remember, preparation is KEY.  Don't be non-chalant about this hurricane...the government and state officials are stern in saying that THIS IS SERIOUS!  Don't let ignorance get you got, feel me?!  Today is the day to get your necessities.

Word of the day: PREPARE
Stay safe lovelies
