3 Hurricane Season Must-Haves for Every Household
Listen, friend. Hurricane season’s here… and it’s shaping up to be another wild one. From June through November, storms can hit fast and hard. But you ain’t gotta sit around and hope for the best. You can be ready.
When you’re prepared, you don’t just feel like a hero… you are the hero your family can count on.
Sure, a pantry full of survival food is a smart start. But if you want real peace of mind this hurricane season, here are 3 things you shouldn’t go without.
A Backup Power Source That Actually Works
You and I both know… hurricanes knock out power like it’s nothing. One big gust and suddenly you’re sitting in the dark. No lights, no fridge, and if you’ve got medical devices like a CPAP… it’s downright dangerous.
That’s why I tell folks to get themselves a solar generator. No gas. No fumes. Just clean, silent power that keeps you running. A solid solar generator can keep your fridge going, recharge phones, and power up medical devices.
Don’t wait until the storm hits to figure out how to use it. Test it, charge it, and practice setting it up so when the lights go out, you’re ready.
Clean, Safe Drinking Water
You can live without a lot of things… but not without water. And when a storm hits, that tap water can get nasty real quick. We’re talking mercury, lead, and even forever chemicals like PFAS.
Stock up on filtered water—at least 3 days’ worth for each person in your house. I like stackable water bricks. You can store ‘em neatly or toss ‘em in the truck if you need to bug out. Don’t forget a good water filtration system and a filtration straw for your go-bag. Trust me, this one’s a no-brainer.
Go Bags for Every Family Member
If you’ve gotta leave in a hurry, you don’t want to be scrambling around the house. A go-bag packed and ready means you’re grabbing and going.
Each person in your house needs their own. Load it up with easy-to-eat survival food, bottled water, important papers, a change of clothes, and any medications. Add in backup power for phones or lights. A go-bag keeps your head on straight when everything else is chaos.
Here’s the bottom line: With backup power, clean water, and a ready-to-go bag, you can ride out hurricanes safer and smarter. You’re not waiting on help… you’re standing tall, taking care of your family the way real Americans should.
Don’t wait. Get prepared today.
