Hurricane Supply List

Select Safety Sales has put together a Hurricane Supply List which includes supplies that could be useful in a hurricane or other natural disaster.  The best time to get these supplies together is long before the storm.  It’s always best to plan for the unexpected and be ready if an emergency happens!

Items in this hurricane supply list should be packed in a large duffel bag or plastic storage container.  A large duffel bag makes it easier to move from place to place with the supplies.  It is a good idea if it has a shoulder strap because this makes it easier to carry around and leaves hands free.  Large Back Packs are also a good choice.
