Vehicles & Motorized Equipment

Transportation- If you do not have a vehicle to use to get out of a disaster area contact your family, neighbors or your local emergency services. Do NOT use that excuse as a reason to stay in harms way!

Fill your car/truck gas tanks and have extra motor oil on hand. Check brake and other fluids. Be sure to fill the windshield wiper fluid container in advance and top off the radiator if needed.

Fill your tires with air to the recommended pressure. A can of Fix-A-Flat for your tires may come in handy when having to drive over and around roads and fields littered with construction or other debris. (Please read all instructions before using.)

Keep vehicles cleaned out at all times so you will have room for emergency supplies to be added when the time comes.

Fill your motorized equipment`s gas tanks (lawn mowers, chainsaws, tractors, etc.) and additional gas containers.

*Use certified approved containers only to store gasoline.

Boats- Make arrangements with your local marina and be prepared to moor your boat securely well in advance of a tropical storm or hurricane.

Electronic Items - Have your camera, camera supplies, Ipod, laptop, phones and computer updated and stored in a safe place. Charge batteries in advance and have an ample supply of regular batteries and rechargeable batteries on hand.
