As the first hurricane of the season rolls across the Caribbean, now is a good time to think about your level of preparedness for a hurricane.  Whether you’re tucked away at home or traveling, think about what you would do in the event of an evacuation.  If you had just moments’ notice to pack and run, or hide, what would you bring with you?  It’s better to prepare in advance rather than bank on a clear head in the midst of an emergency.  Keep a small bag full of useful items that you can use while you ride out the storm, such as paper plates, utensils, non-perishable foods, medications, flashlights, batteries, extra cash, pet supplies, clothing, bedding–you get the idea.  Need more hints?  The National Hurricane Center has guides to help you.
