Office of Disaster Management: Prepare your Disaster Supply Kit.

GREAT BAY(DCOMM):--- It only takes one storm to change your life and community. We live in the hurricane belt, and therefore you need to be prepared. One of the first things that you need is a Disaster Supply Kit (DSK).

A DSK would have the necessary supplies to get you through the first few days after a storm has struck the island. A devastating hurricane could leave the country without water and electricity for several days if not longer, and therefore it is very important to have a minimum of one week of supplies for each person in the household.

The DSK should contain non-perishable food, water, and medicine (fill prescriptions before the storm); non-electric can opener; first-aid kit; extra cash (ATM machines and credit cards won’t work if there is no electricity); battery-powered radio and flashlights as well as extra batteries; make sure cell phones are all charged prior to the arrival of the hurricane; fill up your car/truck with gas; check if your home and automobile insurance are up to date; put ID cards, passports and driver’s license in a waterproof bag along with other important documents.

If you are a parent with an infant or young children, you also need to have essential items as part of your disaster supply kit: baby formula; diapers; bottles; powdered milk; medications; moist towels; and diaper rash ointment.

The Office of Disaster Management (ODM), is advising all residents to begin to prepare timely for the Atlantic hurricane season and to have the necessary plans in place before the peak of the season (August – October). The hurricane season opens on June 1st.

Use the quiet period of the season to trim back tree branches from your home; cut all dead or weak branches on any trees on your property; clean-up your yard and put away items that could blow away during the passing of a hurricane.

The 2017 hurricane season officially runs through November 30.
