    Keep copies of your registration papers in your car. Keep the originals in a safe place, with your other important papers. Check your insurance policy. Are you covered for wind damage and water? Will the policy replace items in your car?

    Keep your car's gas tank full and always keep these items in your car:

1. Spare tire, properly inflated.
2. Sturdy jack, in working order.
3. Bottled water - you can drink it or use it in an overheated radiator.
4. Booster cables.
5. Basic tools, including screwdrivers, wrenches and a hammer.
6. Folding shovel, to dig you out of holes if you get stuck.
7. Flashlight and plenty of extra batteries.
8. Rain gear and extra clothes. Emergency blankets and/or some plastic or tarpaulins can be handy.
9. Emergency flares.
10. First-aid kit

    If you plan to drive out of the area when a hurricane threatens, you need to make early preparations. Plan to take with you many of the same supplies you would use to stock your home, among them:

1. Traveler's checks: Banks and automatic tellers may be closed, out of order or out of cash. Traveler's checks are safer to carry than cash.
2. Identification: If you are going to a shelter, you will need proof of residence.
3. Copies of important papers such as records of insurance, health and birth certificates, deeds and titles.
4. Quiet games or favorite toys for children.
5. 30 day supply of your personal medications.
6. Blankets or sleeping bags.
7. Canned food, can opener.
8. Battery-powered radio. It is a good idea to keep a good supply of batteries, enough for several weeks may be required.
9. Matches and candles in a plastic bag.
