Nearly everyone in Florida knows how to prepare for a hurricane. We’ve all seen the effects of Hurricanes like Andrew, Katrina, and even what a defunct large Tropical Storm turned depression named Sandy can do both in Florida and in other regions of the country. However, many people in Florida and around the country do not even think of preparation until the last minute, and by then, the stores are already being cleared out in minutes, leaving people without water, flashlights, or other basic necessities.
Emergency responders estimate it will take 72 hours to be able to access areas to assist the people affected, so having enough supplies on hand to survive this timeframe is crucial.
