What should i have on hand to prepare for a hurricane?

Food and water: You'll need food and water (a gallon a day per person); a first aid kit; a fire extinguisher; flashlights; a portable radio; extra batteries, blankets, clothes, shoes, and plenty of cash (ATMs and store credit card or debit card processors may not work); your medications; an adjustable or pipe wrench to turn off gas or water, if necessary; baby and pet food; and an alternate cooking source

I would: check the weather bureau to see the path of the hurricane and see how strong it is. If it is like hurricane Matthews, try to evacuate immediately otherwise f for any reasons you cannot, make sure you have candles , food, water, first aid and get your home as secure as possible. You still need to find a way out where there is maximum security.
