Author of Be Ready For Anything and The Prepper’s Hurricane Survival Guide
Hurricanes are not always completely predictable and sometimes we end up being surprised when the storm dramatically changes courses or gains power. Due to this, sometimes people aren’t as prepared as they’d like to be when suddenly the weather channel announces the newest named storm is headed straight for them – and it’s a big one.
Below, you’ll find a round-up of all of our hurricane preparedness resources. We hope this helps you to get better prepared at a time when supplies might be scarce.

As a native Floridian, I’ve been through my share of Hurricanes & Tropical Storms.
I’ve already strapped my Chicken Coop down. Don’t want the chickens to go airborne while inside the coop. Brought in all potted plants including my young Banana trees in 20 gallon grow bags. I checked my Generator last week….good to go. I’m a Prepper (since 2008) so the normal stuff (food, water, batteries, etc.), I’ve already got.
I’m taking a lunch break right now at my Mom & Pop Shop, I’ve been prepping the office today while the wife is home cleaning up the patio of anything that might fly off.
I’m on the Space Coast, so we won’t get direct hit but we’ll get Tropical Storm force winds (I’m guessing gusts up to 60-65mph) plus the chance of EF-0 tornadoes zipping by doing hit and runs.
Hi Neighbor 🙂
I am south of you, so not much going on here. Taking advantage of the tax holidays though. Got a butane stove for my dad-cause I have one and I can just give him some canisters. Otherwise I am ready for the season.
Freedom Summer tax holiday is going on until September 4th. Disaster Preparedness tax holiday will end September 8th.
