Got some great info from my good friend and unofficial mentor, Becky Powell (Awesome lady & SR super consultant) that I thought I should share. :-) I'm sure the list can be tailored to fit your particular area pretty easily. :-)
Here's what you need to have on hand if a hurricane comes our way (Becky's from the Houston, Texas area). Some items will be in short supply in the days before landfall, so it's best to stock up in advance.
Water - at least 1 gallon daily per person for 3 to 7 days; Also fill bathtub and other containers; Gator Aid is also good to fend off dehydration
Food - at least enough for 3 to 7 days
—non-perishable packaged or canned food / juices
—foods for infants or the elderly
—snack foods
—non-electric can opener
—cooking tools / fuel
—paper plates / plastic utensils
Bedding - Blankets / Pillows, etc.
Clothing - seasonal / rain gear/ sturdy shoes
First Aid Kit / Medicines / Prescription Drugs
Special Items - for babies and the elderly
Toiletries / Hygiene items / Moisture wipes
Flashlight / Batteries / Lantern
Radio - Battery operated and NOAA weather radio
Telephones - Fully charged cell phone with extra battery and a traditional (not cordless) telephone set
Cash (with some small bills) and Credit Cards - Banks and ATMs may not be available for extended periods
Important documents - in a waterproof container or watertight resealable plastic bag
—insurance, medical records, bank account numbers, Social Security card, etc.
Tools - keep a set with you during the storm
Gas - Vehicle fuel tanks filled several days before landfall is expected
Pet care items—proper identification / immunization records / medications
