If not, make sure there are not any trees ready to fall on your house.
If you can, re-tar any loose shingles to avoid the blue tarp shit that happens when insurance cant help fix your roof for 6 months.
get wood for windows if you dont have shutters. Ironically, the cheap pressed chunk wood is better. its made with wood chips and glue and the glue is semi-elastic so it wont snap if hit. Its also a super material (glue with a bonding solid) so its generally really strong. try to get as close to an inch thick on the wood as you can. Have a 6 inch overlap on the outside of the windows and use a hammer drill to put in concrete screws.
dont do the dumb duck tape window bullshit. its a meme and doesnt work or do anything but leave nasty shit on your window.
Get a sawyer mini in case the water situation goes down hill. FEMA will possibly be there after to help but its honestly crazy hard to get through a city after all that debris is thrown about.
Have food for at LEAST 2 weeks. and try to get water for that too. The water will probably work afterwards but it wont be potable so it would need to be boiled.
Get a bunch of coleman propane tanks from walmart. they are about the size of a two leader, and then get the camp stove attachment. Fill any grill propane tanks you have as well.
If you have a generator make sure its bolted down or it will get stolen.
This isnt by any means everything you need to do, but as a rule of thumb just overprepare for it.
oh, and get a gun... seriously... people tried breaking into our house twice the 2 weeks the power was out.
t. went through francis, jeanne, etc...
