Hurricane season starts this Saturday; are you prepared? Here is a list of items that will make life easier, take it from me – 2004 was a lot easier due to being prepared.

Consider a generator. Having some power made all of the difference.

Update your home inventory. If you do get hit, an inventory can make the insurance claim process a bit smoother. Take photos or everything, not just of your stuff but also of the structure of your home. E-mail the file to yourself so you can access it for anywhere.

Trim your Trees. Flying debris causes the most damage. Talk to your neighbors to make sure all of you have picked up or stowed items that can fly.

Put together a disaster kit. A battery-operated radio is a must, being able to know what is going on outside of your home makes a huge difference. Flashlights, food, water, and a coffee pot that you can use on your gas grill are musts. Have all of your important papers stowed in a water tight container.

Being prepared will make life easier from an emotional and financial standpoint.
