How preppers prepare for hurricanes: a comprehensive look<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"Everybody\u2019s a prepper when the storm comes. Unfortunately this particular portrayal of peripheral preparedness<\/a> not only did a disservice to the prepper community, it dissuaded many people from pursuing training or meeting others that could have helped them understand how to be ready for emergencies before they happen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some people look past the stigmatism and realize you have to be proactive in preparing. This article breaks down what you need to consider when preparing for a hurricane (and to some extent any weather emergency), from a prepper point of view. I\u2019ve spent some time looking for and linking some specific examples for you but they\u2019re only suggestions to get you started (this is only a blog post and not a book). Please do some research after thinking through your plans.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m writing this article just after Harvey slammed into Texas and just before Irma is supposed to hit Florida but the details should hold true for years to come. This topic is of particular concern to me because I\u2019m in the middle of transitioning this year from living in the suburbs of Phoenix to living on a sailboat in the Atlantic\/Caribbean. I\u2019ll first go briefly over the four basic time periods to consider and then give you some basic ideas of what to start planning in order to handle them.<\/p>\n

There are four basic time periods to consider in preparing for a hurricane:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Well before a storm is forming<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. When a hurricane is likely to hit your area<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. During the storm<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Dealing with the aftermath<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Well before a storm is forming<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This is normal life. The time that no one really thinks about hurricanes. This is the time to do all the things that take an extended amount of time to complete or must be started well in advance.<\/p>\n
