Get Ready Before the Storm
The best time to prepare for a hurricane is a calm day in spring. Once a storm is in the forecast, store shelves empty quickly, gas lines get long, and every task takes longer. Storm Supply helps you do the work early, so a watch or warning means a final checklist instead of a scramble.
Start here
- Build your kit. Our hurricane supply checklist covers water, food, power, medicine, and documents.
- Keep the lights on safely. Read generator safety basics before you run one for the first time.
- Water matters most. Learn how much water to store and how to store it.
- Protect the house. See how to protect windows and doors when a storm is coming.
Know your zone and your plan
Find out whether you live in an evacuation zone and where you'd go if ordered to leave. Plan for pets, medications, and anyone in your household who needs extra help. Your county's emergency management office publishes zone maps and shelter information.
Always follow instructions from local officials and the National Hurricane Center. This site is general guidance, not a substitute for official warnings.
