As the hurricane season approaches you want to keep your car's gas tank full. Top off the gas tank in your car every couple of days.

Lines get long and the gas supply becomes scarce and sometimes even non-existent the closer a storm gets to your area. Plus, remember gas pumps do not operate without electricity and may not be available for days after a storm. Also, you might want to stock up on groceries.

Local supplies dwindle quickly leaving the shelves of most stores empty within a couple of days before the arrival of a storm. Keep at least a week's worth of non-perishable food items and bottled water.
