WOMAN SHARES THE 5 UNDERRATED THINGS YOU SHOULD DO TO PREP FOR A HURRICANE
According to TikToker Jenna Cannella (@jenna_cannella_) these five things should be prepared before hurricane season begins and, she notes, “Since hurricane season has already started, you need to take care of this right now.”
The first step, Cannella says, is to gather up all your important documents in one place so that you can take them with you in case you have to evacuate your home.
If you have any items of personal value, such as a family heirloom, or an irreplaceable object, Cannella suggests storing the items in a waterproof container that you can either take with you if you evacuate or store at the highest point in your house.
“If you are going to stay, and you live in a low-lying area, like I do, have an axe in your attic. You never know when you have to break through your roof. And I know that is really sad, but that is just reality,” says Cannella.
“Stock up on water,” Cannella tells her viewers. She also says that you should keep a stock of non-perishable food items, and make sure that your car has a full tank of gas.
“Last, but not least, have first aid items on hand,” Cannella advises her viewers. John Hopkins Medicine also suggests that in addition to a complete first aid kit, you should have a seven-day supply of all medications you may need
Her video received 23,7000 views, and commenters were grateful to the TikToker for her tips.“Thank god I’ve been keeping up with your videos cause I didn’t think about taking my important documents,” said a viewer.
