How To Prepare Your Vehicle For A Hurricane

If you live on the eastern seaboard of North America, you know how devastating hurricanes can be. In recent years, hurricanes have been increasing in frequency and damage caused by hurricanes has been extensive. Over the last decade, several years have seen over five hurricanes, and 2005 saw fifteen hurricanes alone. If you want your car to survive the flooding and wind damage caused by hurricanes, follow this guide on how to prepare your vehicle for the next hurricane.

Keep Your Car Full Of Fuel

At the first sign of a hurricane, fill your car with whatever type of fuel it takes. Gasoline is one of the first items to sell out during the build-up to a hurricane, and unless you want your car to be stranded, you better stock up ahead of time. Keeping a backup gas can in the garage isn’t a bad idea, but might not be enough to get out of the way of the storm. Plan ahead and keep your tank full whenever hurricanes might occur.
