The "I'm Never Coming Home" INCH acronym is hopefully not as bad as it sounds: eventually you should be going home.

You need to provide 1 gallon of water (3.7 liters) per person per day for you and each of your family members if you don't have access to clean water or a faucet.

Think about that for a minute. That's a lot of water. 

A half gallon (2 liters) is what you need for drinking each day - in warm weather or during periods of high stress or activity that amount could double.

Hurricanes can be some of the most destructive forces on earth. Intense winds along with flooding can cause multiple damage vectors. Getting prepared ahead of time is critical since Hurricane warnings will only come a few days in advance. 

There are a few key issues to plan for:

• Home Fortification: Wind & Water Mitigation
• Long Term Power Outage: Food Storage / Lighting / Hygiene 
• Preparing for Evacuation

If you live on the east coast of the US, or in Hawaii, prepping for hurricanes and cyclones is an annual activity!
