Petruccelli says Double-check to ensure the supplies
in your Hurricane Preparedness Kit are both well-stocked and fresh. Inflate air beds to ensure they don't need patching or
replacing. Check expiration dates on canned foods. Use a battery tester so you
know they will work when you need them to (most batteries have a tester already
attached to the package, but you can buy one separately if you want to).
