Hurricane Preparedness

When a hurricane strikes, Tractor Supply has all the gear you need to weather the storm. From emergency generators and water storage containers to tarps and safety and survival supplies, we can help you secure your property and keep your family and pets safe.

Have The Right Supplies on Hand: Building a Hurricane Preparedness Kit

1. Food and Water: Make sure you have enough non-perishable food and water supplies to last for at least three days per person. Consider canned food, energy bars and bottled water.
2. First Aid Supplies: Include first aid supplies such as bandages, medications and antiseptic wipes and ointments.
3. Heat and Power Sources: Keep flashlights and batteries on hand incase of power outages. Additionally, having a backup generator as well as emergency heat and fire starters ready for use can be helpful in the event of extended outages.
4. Communication Devices: In the event of a power outage or interferences with cellular reception, having an emergency radio on hand can help to keep your family informed and in communication with first responders, if needed. Additionally, consider adding a whistle to your kit, as they can be used to signal for help if you're trapped or in need of assistance.
5. Clothing, Blankets and Sleeping Bags: In the event that you have to shelter overnight or for an extended amount of time, having extra blankets and clothing on hand can help to keep the family warm and dry as they weather the storm.

Protecting Your Property

Secure your home and property with protective materials such as sandbags to mitigate flood damage, plywood to board up windows and doors, and tarps to cover vulnerable areas prone to leaks. By protecting your property with these items, you can help minimize potential structural damage, reduce the risk of water damage and help safeguard valuable belongings from hurricane damage.

Cleanup After the Storm

Once the hurricane has passed, cleanup will inevitably become a priority. These products can help you to tackle the aftermath:

1. Fans and Blowers: Assist with drying out damp areas and preventing mold growth.
2. Wet/Dry Vacs: Ideal for removing water from flooded areas or cleaning up debris.
3. Dehumidifiers: Help to reduce moisture levels in the air, preventing mold and mildew.
4. Pressure Washers: Efficiently clean outdoor surfaces covered in mud and debris.
5. Chainsaws: Essential for removing fallen trees and branches and tidying up your property.
