How to prep a hurricane kit

You don't want to wait until a storm develops and supermarket shelves empty out to start preparing.

• Miami-Dade County has an exhaustive list of items to include in your hurricane kit.

Some notable supplies:

• Seven days' worth of non-perishable food and water (one gallon per person per day)
• Battery-powered radio or TV with extra batteries
• Cash
• Copies of important personal documents, like social security cards and insurance information
• Flashlight
• Hygiene products, hand sanitizer and medications

Of note: In case of an evacuation, you can look up your zone on the county website.
