CableOrganizer.com Issues Next Level Hurricane Preparedness Tips, Solutions Beyond the Basics

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - June 30, 2009) - With the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season officially underway, now is the time to ensure you have the provisions needed to keep you, your family and your property as safe and secure as possible. This according to CableOrganizer.com COO Paul Holstein, who notes, "It's imperative those 'at-risk' do not get complacent and cover just the bare necessities like batteries and canned goods, or wait until a storm is impending to seek out the necessary provisions. Take advantage of storm downtime to ensure in advance you are fully, not partially, prepared for a hurricane."

"While it's of utmost importance to have the fundamentals in place relative to food, water, medication, communication and transportation, there are a number of other important factors to consider when safeguarding the homestead," Holstein says. "Every household has stacks of important papers that are difficult, in some cases virtually impossible, to replace, such as insurance policies, medical records, birth certificates, legal documents, passports, computer data, automobile and home ownership documents. Jewelry, medications, and other valuable items also require waterproof, secure protection, and those who own such items would be well-served by ensuring they are safe and secure -- during a hurricane or any other disaster, those natural and otherwise."

With all of this in mind, CableOrganizer.com (http://CableOrganizer.com) offers this assortment of "next level" hurricane preparedness tips, gadgets and gear:

*** Briggs and Stratton Storm Ready Kit: As a storm approaches, power outages are not uncommon. And, after a storm passes, electricity may not be available for hours, days, or even weeks. Living without electric power is challenging, but if you are prepared with a generator appropriate for home use, you don't have to suffer through dark nights or food supplies without refrigeration. "Briggs and Stratton Storm Ready Kit" is one good option, as it includes a 25-foot panel extension cord that is rated at 30 amps, two quarts of SAE 30 engine oil to keep your generator purring, and two packets of fuel stabilizer. There is also a large storage cover made of nylon with a drawstring bottom to protect the generator when not in use.

*** WeatherX Weatherband Flashlight, Lantern, AM/FM Radio & TV Combo: In a hurricane, power outages are almost certain. It's imperative to have a dependable flashlight on hand, along with a radio and TV to receive up-to-the-minute news reports. This battery-powered WeatherX all-in-one unit includes a removable flashlight with recharge circuit, 2 adjustable rotary fluorescent lamps, AM/FM radio, black and white TV, emergency siren, thermometer, and a compass.

*** Pelican Protector Case™: To safeguard important documents, data, and valuables, seek watertight, dust proof, chemical resistant, and corrosion proof storage containers. Many sturdy cases are on the market, including the popular Pelican Protector Case™ that is made of Ultra High Impact structural copolymer, which makes it particularly strong and durable.

*** Cable-Safe™ Complete Cable Manager: With a hurricane comes water, which all too often seeps indoors creating a flood situation. In a flood, cables, power adapters, power strips, hubs, modems and other small devices are at great risk. Readily lift these items off the floor and put safely out of harm's way with cable management products such as the Cable-Safe™ Complete Cable Manager -- an extremely effective and inexpensive way to loop, tie and hang cabling and wiring off the floor.

*** Surface Raceway Cord Covers: Of course, with any exposed wiring and power cords and cabling for use with generators and other devices comes safety risks. Poised and ready to trip all who pass, exposed power cords, cables and wires are far than an unsightly. Fortunately, cord cover systems are available to keep passers by from tripping on loose cables and wires running across a walkway. Cord protectors cover, hide, and protect cords and cables while keeping floors clear and safe. They also lie flat, and stay flat, and are decidedly easy to install.

*** Tip: Take the Edge Off: Ensure you have corrugated cardboard and heavy-duty tape on hand to wrap anything that breaks during a storm and creates a sharp edge, such as broken/cracked glass, brittle plastic casings or other materials that may break and produce a sharp or rough edge. Doing so will protect yourself and others from accidental lacerations, which can be dire when seeking medical attention is not an immediate possibility. Sharp edge protection is also important after the storm, especially when placing broken items in a trash container. More info: http://cableorganizer.com/duct-tape/professional-tape.html

*** Tip: Get Attached: Assure bookshelves and cabinets over 5 feet in height, particularly those that are top-heavy, are secured to the wall with the appropriate mount or fastener to ensure they do not fall over during the chaos of a hurricane. If not secured, such bookshelves and cabinets can topple and not only damage whatever it contained, but also deliver a crushing blow to whoever may be on the receiving end.
