It’s hard to predict how long you may need to stay away from home when a hurricane or other natural disaster strikes. Here’s a list of items you and those who depend on you may need.
What to bring if you need to leave:
✓ Cell phone and power cord.
✓ Personal Information: Identification card, birth certificates, passports, visas, permanent resident papers, and work permits.
✓ Money: bank account information, checkbook, ATM card, credit card, debit card, and cash.
✓ Keys: house, car, and place of work.
✓ Car: driver’s license and car registration documents.
✓ Medical: prescribed medications, medical devices, and other medicines you regularly take.
✓ Home information: copies of mortgage paperwork or lease and rental agreements.
✓ Contacts: address book or cell phone with contacts.
✓ Valuables: Family photos, jewelry, small items of sentimental value.
✓ Clothing and toiletries.
