Waimanalo, Hawaii. The beginning of the hurricane season brings also the anxiety everyone encounters once the watch and warnings are announced and the possibility of the storm approaching near our State. WHHA encourages everyone to "prepare" a checklist and to begin "checking off" each item as soon as you can. "Avoid wasteful spending, unneeded travelling and using your gasoline more wisely beforehand, rather than reacting last minute." commented WHHA President Paul Richards. WHHA is recommending our homesteaders to begin planning for the worst and hoping for the best by stocking, preparing on some of these suggested items: Battery or hand operated radio Flashlights Batteries Bottled water First Aid kit Personal medication Hygiene and personal toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc.) Extra clothes, towels packed in plastic bags Footwear (extra slippers, athletic shoes, etc.) Extra cash (ATMs and Credit-ATM purchases may be limited) Butane stove and cartridges Cooler Water jugs Poly sheeting, tarps Rope, duct and masking tape Ensure important papers, documents are kept dry For more helpful information, check out the following websites: Family Emergency Plan Hawaii State Civil Defense |
