Stock Up for Hurricane Season!

Now is the time to start preparing the supplies you’ll need.

Hurricane season lasts from June 1 to November 30. From Allison to Harvey, we all know that Houston has been hit hard before, so we want you to be fully prepared for the next big storm, even though we hope it never actually comes our way.

There are so many supplies you’ll need in the event of a hurricane, and they tend to sell out quickly once a serious storm formation is announced. Of course that only adds to the stress of an impending storm. Why not save yourself the stress and just stock up now?

These non-perishables and essential goods all have very long shelf lives, so rest assured that even if we have an uneventful season, you’ll be able to put these items to good use at some point.

1. Water jugs (one gallon per person per day for 7 days)
2. Dry snacks (energy bars, granola bars, crackers)
