FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Plywood cut in advance?
Yes — measure and cut the plywood for every window before the season, label each by window, and store it. When a storm is named, you install in an hour instead of fighting the crowd at the hardware store.
Water — how much?
1 gallon per person per day, 3 days minimum (a week is better) — for drinking and sanitation. Fill the bathtub for flushing. Freeze water bottles to keep the freezer cold and drink them as they melt.
Shelter plan?
Yes — know your evacuation zone and route, and where you go. Storm surge is the killer; if you are told to evacuate for surge, go. The house is replaceable; you are not.
After the storm?
The days after are often deadlier — downed power lines, generator CO, spoiled food, heat. Keep the kit, treat every downed line as live, run generators far from the house, and discard perishables above 40 F for 2+ hours.

Hurricane prep and my earthquake kit share the cut-the-plywood-before-the-season gospel — water and a crank radio are the universal storm kit. Evacuate for surge, every time, agreed.
