With a forecasted very active hurricane season this year, it’s crucial to be prepared for any eventuality. At Bahia Property Management, we understand the importance of ensuring the safety and security of our properties and residents. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of essential items for a survival kit that every property owner and resident should have on hand. With these essentials, you can rest assured that you’re ready to face any storm with confidence.
1. Water
Water is the most critical item in any survival kit. Aim to have at least one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days.
2. Non-Perishable Food
Stock up on non-perishable food items such as canned goods, granola bars, and dried fruits. We recommend having at least a three-day supply for each person.
3. First Aid Kit
A well-stocked first aid kit is essential. Include bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any prescription medications you may need.
4. Flashlights and Batteries
Power outages are common during hurricanes. Flashlights and extra batteries are vital for navigating in the dark. Bahia Property Management advises keeping several flashlights and a generous supply of batteries in an easily accessible location.
5. Multi-Tool
A multi-tool can be invaluable in an emergency, providing a variety of functions from cutting to opening cans.
6. Emergency Blankets
Emergency blankets can help keep you warm if you are faced with severe flooding.
7. Whistle
A whistle can be a lifesaver if you need to signal for help. We recommend including a whistle in your survival kit.
8. Portable Phone Chargers
Staying connected is crucial during an emergency. Portable phone chargers can keep your devices powered when you need them most. Bahia Property Management encourages residents to have at least one fully charged portable charger at all times.
9. Personal Hygiene Items
Maintaining hygiene during a disaster is essential for your health. Include items such as toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, hand sanitizer, moist towelettes, and garbage bags in your kit.
10. Important Documents
Keep copies of important documents, such as identification, insurance policies, and property records, in a waterproof container to ensure they are protected during a storm.
