10. Reliable Storage
Proper storage is critical. A hurricane can cause severe damage, so taking steps to protect your emergency kit is a must.
Keep your emergency supplies in a sturdy, waterproof container, preferably one that’s brightly colored and labeled so you can locate it easily. Waterproof ammunition containers are great for storing diabetes supplies. Keep the container in a secure location.
It might not be possible to shelter at home. In addition to having a storage container, you should have a backpack that can fit all of your core diabetes supplies. You might even want to pack it in advance so you can immediately grab and go.
