- can opener
- First Aid kit
- batteries
- flashlight
- medication
- personal documentation
- battery-operated radio

Leave your emergency kit by the door in case you need to “grab it and go”.
Get to Higher Ground
When a hurricane or powerful storm is hitting, people in low-lying coastal areas should stay over with family or friends who live on higher grounds. It'sSecond also important to keep away from the water.
