November is a long way away this year. So be ready now, and avoid the rush.
UPDATE: I'm not the only one pointing this out right now. Instapundit has some thoughts on disaster preparedness, and some good links, too. I agree that preparation is not just for those of us in hurricane states, and that 72 hours of supplies is probably not enough. Also remember the other things besides supplies - planning how and when to evacuate, where to go, and having a point-of-contact outside of the disaster area in case you get separated or need help. Lessons learned from Katrina. Another lesson is to make sure you can text from your cell phone. Text messages take little bandwidth, and many people after Katrina were able to make contact via text message when cell calls wouldn't go through.
