All remains quiet in the tropics for now. This is a good time to check your plan of action and your supplies to make sure you are ready for whatever comes your way.
- Check shutters, window covers, etc.
- Generators, change the oil. Check the tank to make sure it is not rusted. After doing regular maintenance, make sure it runs. Then turn off the choke while it is running to drain gas from the feed line and carburetor. Drain left over gas from tank. They sell conversion kits for your gas generators that will make you a tri-fuel generator, so you can use gas or propane.
- Flashlights and lanterns cause battery corrosion on contacts, especially if you leave the batteries in them. Alkaline batteries tend to corrode if left in flashlights for a long period of time. Always remember to remove batteries from radios and flashlights you don't use and store them away.
- Check the tiles and the integrity of your roof.
- Plastic tool sheds need to be strapped down. Your local home improvement store has special straps to fasten them down.
- Get yourself some FRS radios for local communications.
- Weather Radio with AM/FM light and battery crank.
- Large tarp to cover the roof after the storm.
These are some of the many things you should be doing to get ready for the peak of the 2024 hurricane season.
