The weather forecast for Hurricane Matthew will hit millions of Americans in the Southeast this week. It's time to prepare for the worst with the impact of the Category 3 storm and change travel plans before the storm hits the region. Here are some tips to survive a hurricane storm.
1) Have enough food and water for each person in your household for three days. Canned items, non-perishable food, manual can openers and a grill or propane to heat up food.
2) Prepare an emergency supplies bag in case you need to evacuate quickly. Important papers, documents, medical prescriptions, eyeglasses, electronic devices or hard drives. Grab and go bag and clothing.
3) Check and make sure you flashlights and extra batteries available. Stock up on tarps and garbage bags if water damages roof and to keep items dry.
4) Have a portable weather radio or generator in case power goes out. It could take days for repair of power. Keep generators outdoors and a safe distance away from the house so fumes do not become a hazard.
5) ATM and gas pumps will not work if there are outages, fill up the cars and have small amount of cash on hand in case of emergency purchases.
