Question of the Day Topic: Hurricane Safety Kit

In the latest update Thursday, Westwood officials said from Hurricane Irene this weekend will be from wind-related damages.

Westwood has offered a brochure of safety tips as well as items to include in a safety kit, which lists everything from non-perishable food items to batteries, as well as plenty of water. Moreover, residents with electronic equipment they may need should remember to charge their devices before Saturday night.

For today's question, we're wondering: What do you recommend to your fellow residents for safety supplies to keep on hand during a severe weather event? Do you find that some items work better than others?
