THE EDITOR: The hurricane season is from June 1 to November 30. It is therefore imperative that all homes prepare a disaster kit.
The kit should have: Water, a gallon per person a day; non-perishable food; first aid kit; cash; prescription medicine; extra batteries; matches in a waterproof container; toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap; paper plates, plastic cups, paper towels; battery-powered radio; sleeping bags; flashlights; whistle to signal for help; can opener; baby supplies, if one is present; extra pair of eyeglasses.
It is better to be safe than sorry.
Planning is a most effective skill. Safety is first and foremost.
