00:00The difference between a hurricane inconvenience and a hurricane disaster often comes down to one thing.
00:05Preparation. One of the easiest ways to prepare is by building a hurricane emergency kit before you need it.
00:11Start with the basics. Enough water and non-perishable food for everyone in your household for several days.
00:16Then add flashlights, extra batteries, a first aid kit, medications, cash, and backup chargers for your phone.
00:21Don't forget the things people often overlook. Pet supplies, baby supplies, and copies of important documents.
00:27And if a storm does end up threatening your area, take photos of your home before it arrives.
00:32If you need to file an insurance claim later, those pictures can make a big difference.
00:35The best hurricane kit is the one you put together before there's a storm to track.
