How to prepare well before a hurricane hits
Most people do not think of preparing for a hurricane until the threat is imminent. Preseason hurricane preparedness focuses on tasks that one would usually not have the time to complete once a hurricane is forecast to impact a community. These types of jobs may take days or longer to be properly prepared.

Once the inventory is taken, the items then should be prioritized as to the potential negative impact it could cause if not rectified.
