Prepare for a Hurricane

Hurricane Harvey dumped over 60 inches of rain on parts of Texas in 2017, displacing more than 30,000 people and causing $125 billion in damage. Hurricane Ian in 2022 devastated southwest Florida with 150 mph winds and catastrophic storm surge. These are not freak events — they are part of a pattern that affects millions of Americans every season.

FEMA recommends every household maintain supplies for at least 72 hours. If you live in a hurricane-prone area along the Gulf Coast or Atlantic seaboard, having a plan and a stocked kit is not optional — it is a basic responsibility.
