What should I do?

Question

So I live in the Bahamas and we are being threatened with hurricane Irma. Which means no power no water. No access to food stores for about a day. What do you guys suggest for a must have or must do

to fully prepare for the weeks coming with no power/water. This is my first pregnancy and I'm just 3 months.

Answer

I'd definitely stock up on some bottled water and no heat/cook foods like packs of crackers, peanut butter ect.
Maybe look into getting a power pack for your phone so you can charge it some

Answer

I would think to get as much bottle or gallon water possible, can foods veggies, anything that doesn't have to be cooked. peanut butter and have bread,chips and crackers, and caffeine free soda(if you drink it) batteries and flash lights or a lighter/matches for candles. Car charger for your cell phone and fill your tank up with gas lol hope that helps! stay safe!

Answer

Have all your laundry done ahead of time. Get zip lock bags, fill them half way with water and freeze them so your freezer will stay cold if the power goes out. They sell inexpensive lanterns that last several hours, get a couple of those and extra batteries. Canned food, make sure you have a hand held can opener. Peanut butter, snacks etc. Water jugs or you can fill whatever containers you have with water before the storm. Have some cash handy in case credit card machines are down for a few days. Plug your bath tub and fill with water right before the storm comes.  Shower right before the storm comes. Hang in there! I'm in Palm Beach Florida so we get these suckers as well. Remember that the eye of the storm is calm and then the second half comes, so don't go outside until you know it's completely gone.

Answer

Maybe one of those radios that withstand water, idk their actual names they're used for emergency situations to listen to the news in case the internet goes down too and you don't have phone services (even cell phone) I would also get ensure drinks or some type of nutritional meal replacement drink just in case food is really limited. Flashlight and candles. Make sure you know where your can opener is lol.
