Buy Cheap Men's Shoes

Lots of dirty, possibly infectious or otherwise dangerous debris can get thrown around outside your house during the hurricane. Though you should never touch downed power lines, sometimes you'll need to clear boards and bricks. Use gloves to keep your fingers safe.

Waterproof tarps are especially useful to prevent further damage from a leaking roof. If you can no longer stay in your house, they are useful as a quick flooring or even outdoor shelter.

For clearing the inevitable load of branches that will fall all around your house.

A multi-tool, along with a hammer is useful to make temporary repairs. Sure, you may have all the tools around your house, but having everything in one gadget saves lots of space in your emergency kit.

Useful as a disinfecting agent and can even be used as fuel in a hobo cooker.

A good knife is just useful everywhere from cutting rope to trimming branches for firewood. To be realistic, if it came down to having to make a shelter then most people would end up staying at relatives or hopping in the car and heading to a hotel. But when you need a knife it's much safer to use a strong, reliable knife than a cheap one that can break and cause you injury.

Propane lanterns give a lot more light than battery powered ones, though can be a pain. I prefer them because batteries have a shorter shelf-life. That said, I have many flashlights.

This, along with a couple gallons of unscented bleach, is useful for those plumbing emergencies that can occur when there's lots of rain.

For the Florida bugs...

Sometimes you will need to camp out in your backyard. Having a tent makes it much more bearable. Though after a storm the weather is generally good, the bugs and the outdoors (especially for the indoor types) can be trying. Most people will still have their beds, even if no A/C, but if the house is dangerously uninhabitable, then this useful...

Because a hurricane wiping out your house doesn't mean that you become uncivilized... Strangely enough, a hot cup of coffee is one of those things that makes me feel human.

If you need to make your water potable by boiling or chlorine/iodine tablets, then having flavoring makes it more bearable. Remember, though tap water is normally safe to drink (and as good as bottled water), after a storm the lines can become contaminated so you still need to boil or disinfect.

You may need to mark your roof or your door if you need help.

Yes, if your house is uninhabitable, you may need to go to a shelter. Having a backpack with a few personal items makes the experience better (it can probably never be fun). Stock it with a book, some pain medication, a clean change of clothes, copies of insurance documents, personal identifications, etc..

Because we are human, after all.
