Do You Remember What Disaster Supplies To Get For A Hurricane? Here’s A Big List

October 7, 2026

Do you have a manual can opener?

It’s been six years since Hurricane Sally made landfall on the Gulf Coast, and new residents who have never experienced a hurricane move to the area all the time. And sometimes, even for longtime residents, you just forget something.

Here is a handy hurricane supply checklist from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (click to download a larger printable PDF). Obviously not all items will apply to all individuals, and it is not all-inclusive, but it’s a good starting point to not forget what you may need.

And don’t forget the manual can opener; there’s not much worse than a can of food and no way to open it when the power is out.
