[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 86708, member: 9701"] I have a large sealed bin with disaster (hurricane) supplies like a propane stove, fuel, water containers, lights, glow sticks, candles, first aid, crank radio, and lots of other stuff. It is a permanent stash that is available whenever needed. Most coastal Floridians begin to stock up on canned foods in June. The officials say you should have a 3-day supply of food, etc. [I]Most of us[/I] will have a few weeks worth of disaster foods. Come December, if there had been no need (as in the last 5 years) to use the food stocks, we just use it throughout the non-hurricane season months. The problems that occurred with Katrina would not have been nearly as disastrous in Florida, simply because we're used to preparing. With the weather trends, I believe the NE should begin thinking in these terms. I hope everyone is out of harms way and the storm turns out to sea. [/QUOTE]
