Kristine: HURRICANE
SEASON.
VERY IMPORTANT TO BE PREPARED
AT HOME.
Kelly: WE SENT JAY OUT TO
PUT TOGETHER A KIT FOR US.
JOINING US FROM CITY MILL IN
IWILEI.
Jai:ER GREAT THING.
IF YOU VISIT ANY NUMBER OF THE
CITY MILLS ACROSS THE STATE,
WHEN YOU LOOK, THEY ACTUALLY
HAVE BE PREPARED SECTION.
LITERALLY LISTS ALL THE
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT YOU NEED
IF HURRICANE WERE TO HAPPEN.
AS CELL WAS SAYING, JUNE 1,
HURRICANE SEASON BEGAN.
RUNS THROUGH END OF NOVEMBER.
NEXT SIX MONTHS.
CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE,
CAME OUT WITH FORECAST A FEW
WEEKS AGO, THINKING IT COULD
BE SORT OF A REGULAR SEASON.
NOT EXPECTING IT TO BE HEAVY.
WE WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
WHAT YOU NEED TO PUT IN YOUR
KIT AND ANY TIME I NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT SURVIVAL AND ABOUT
COME TO FRANK SUSSER, BEEN
WITH CITY MILL FOR ALMOST 50
YEARS.
IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SOME OF THE BASIC STUFF WE
NEED.
YOU GUYS MAKE IT PRETTY EASY
OF.
GOT A LIST OF THINGS.
I'LL STEP OUT OF THE WAY SO WE
CAN SEE IT.
TAKE ME THROUGH THE STUFF.
OF COURSE, WHAT HAPPENS IS
IF THERE IS A HURRICANE,
NUMBER ONE THING HAPPENS IS
POWER FAILURE.
POWER FAILURE, NO ELECTRICITY,
HOME NEEDS FLASHLIGHTS.
CITY MILL, WE HAVE WIDE ARRAY
OF FLASHLIGHTS, LANTERNS, AND
SO FORTH.
Jai: WITH THE LANTERNS, SO
MANY OF THEM NOW, LED.
DON'T USE NECESSARILY A LOT OF
ENERGY AND NOT DANGEROUS LIKE
HAVING OPEN FLAME.
THAT'S CORRECT.
OF COURSE, BATTERIES.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE BATTERIES
BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE, THEY HAVE
FLASHLIGHTS BUT BATTERIES HAVE
LIFE SPAN.
OF COURSE, OTHER THING THAT
EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE IS
WATER.
BECAUSE IF THERE IS AGAIN A
POWER FAILURE AND YOU LIVE ON
THE 20TH FLOOR OF A HIGHRISE,
THE PUMP THAT PUMPS WATER UP
IS OUT.
YOU ONLY CAN FLUSH YOUR TOILET
ONCE.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
RIGHT.
IN ADDITION TO DRINKING WATER,
TODAY, THEY SAY YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE 2 WEEKS OF
SUPPLIES.
CAN YOU IMAGINE, ONE GALLON
PER PERSON PER DAY.
HOUSEHOLD OF FOUR.
FOUR GALLONS PER DAY TIMES 14
DAYS.
64-GALLONS OF WATER.
IF YOU GO TO HOME CENTER AND
BUY BOTTLED WATER, USUALLY
COME IN 3-GALLON PACKS.
SO YOU CAN SEE, YOU'RE GOING
TO NEED A LOT OF THOSE.
DON'T NEED A GALLON FOR
DRINKING.
BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO
WARSHAUER YOURSELF.
YOU HAVE TO FLUSH TOILETS.
SO IF YOU GOT, LET'S SAY
PLASTIC BUCKETS SUCH AS THESE,
FILL THEM UP WITH 5-GALLONS OF
WATER.
LEFT COUPLE IN YOUR BATHROOM.
AFTER THE FIRST FLUSH, PUT
ANOTHER GALLON OF WATER IN
YOUR TANK.
THIS WILL GIVE YOU FIVE
FLUSHES.
WE JOKE ABOUT IT BUT YOU DON'T
REALIZE ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE
IN A CONDOMINIUM, HOW MANY
TIMES YOU MIGHT NEED TO
UTILIZE THAT BATHROOM.
THAT'S CORRECT.
OF COURSE, YOU STILL NEED
WATER FOR COOKING AND
DRINKING.
OF COURSE, IF THERE IS, IF
YOU LIVE IN REGULAR HOME, AND
ROOF BLOWS OFF OR WINDOWS
BREAK, WATER IS GOING TO COME
INTO YOUR HOME.
GOOD TO HAVE TRASH BAGS.
HERE IS THE BOX OF CONTRACTOR
REALLY BIG ONES.
AND THEY'RE HEAVY DUTY.
3MIL.
ANYTHING THAT'S VALUABLE IN
YOUR HOME THAT COULD GET WATER
DAMAGE, SUCH AS ARTWORK,
IN TRASH BAGS OR IN PLASTIC
CONTAINERS, THERE'S A GOOD
CHANCE IT WON'T GET DESTROYED.
Jai: GOOD TO KNOW.
SOME OF THE THINGS YOU DON'T
REALIZE.
IF AWE ROOF COMES OFF, THE
HOUSE MAY BE EXPOSED, GOING TO
IT TRY TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE.
CORRECT.
OF COURSE, HOME CAN ALSO BE
PROTECTED.
IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'LL
WAIT.
COMING UP ON TAKE 2, TELL YOU
THAT HOME.
ALSO GOING TO TELL YOU MORE,
ALSO SOME OF THE MEASURES YOU
CAN TAKE GETTING THE HOME
PREPARED AND THEN ALSO, IF YOU
LOSE ELECTRICITY, OPTIONS WHEN
IT COME DOES THAT.
FIND OUT MORE A LITTLE BIT
LATTER IN TAKE 2 RIGHT HERE AT
CITY MILL IN IWILEI.
BACK TO THE TAKE 2 STUDIO.
Kelly: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
SO TIMELY.
HURRICANE SEASON JUST STARTED.
MAKE SURE ALWAYS PREPARED.
Kristine: DON'T WAIT UNTIL
THERE'S A HURRICANE
APPROACHING OR IN THE CENTRAL
BEGIN TONIGHT AT 8:30.
NOW, YOU HEAR IT FROM US ALL
THE TIME.
HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE.
HAVE YOUR HURRICANE KIT READY.
INSTEAD OF TELLING WHAT YOU TO
PUT IN IT, WE'RE GOING TO BE
SHOWING YOU.
PREPAREDNESS SHOPPING AT CITY
MILL IN IWILEI.
REJOIN HIM AND SEE HOW HE'S
DOING.
GOOD MORNING, JAI.
Jai: GOOD MORNING.
WE'VE BEEN HERE ALL MORNING
LONG.
THE GREAT THING IS CITY MILL
MAKES IT REALLY EASY FOR YOU
WHEN YOU LOOK.
REALLY HAVE SORT OF A BE
PREPARED LIST.
GOT ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT
YOU NEED TO HAVE IF A
WERE TO HIT.
BATTERY, FLASHLIGHTS,
LANTERNS.
YOU SEE THE MEDICAL KIT.
JUST IN CASE.
YOU SEE SOME OF THE BUTANE FOR
STOVES, THINGS LIKE THAT.
FOR COOKING.
YOU SEE SOME OF THE WATER
STORAGE THING.
THEY REALLY HAVE EVERYTHING
YOU NEED TO KNOW.
BUT WE ALSO WANTED TO TALK
WITH FRANK SUSSER WITH CITY
MILL.
FOR A HALF CENTURY.
THINK ABOUT THAT.
WRAP YOUR BRAINS AROUND THAT.
IF YOU DON'T MIND.
WHEN IT COMES TO HURRICANES,
ALSO THINGS YOU CAN DO PREPARE
YOUR HOUSE.
TAKE ME FEW A FEW THINGS MAYBE
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW OR TAKE OR
GRANTED THAT YOU CAN DO TO BE
PREPARED.
SURE.
ONE THING YOU CAN DO IS
PROTECT WINDOWS.
IF THE HURRICANE IS COMING,
YOU DON'T HAVE TIME.
SO WHAT YOU COULD DO IS DURING
OFF HURRICANE SEASON CUT
PIECES OF PLYWOOD.
NO LESS THAN HALF INCH THICK.
Jai: IMPORTANT KNOW.
YOU CAN'T BUY REALLY THIN
STUFF.
RECOMMEND 5/8 OF AN INCH.
BECAUSE WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN, IF IT'S A STRONG WIND,
ANYTHING IN YOUR LAWN, IF YOU
HAVE COCONUTS IN YOUR COCONUT
TREE, THEY'RE FLYING THROUGH
YOUR WINDOWS.
LAWN FURNITURE, EVERYTHING IS
FLYING.
SO YOU SHOULD HAVE ROPE.
YOU COULD TIE DOWN AS APS YOU
CAN OUT IN YOUR LAWN.
YOU CUT SHEETS OF PLYWOOD.
MAKE THEM LEAL BIT LARGER THAN
WINDOW OPENING.
JALOUSIE WINDOW.
IF I WAS TO USE REGULAR NAILS
AND POUND IT ON, AND LET'S SAY
THE STORM PASSED, NO DAMAGE TO
MY HOME, BE VERY DIFFICULT TO
REMOVE THE PLYWOOD.
RECOMMEND IF DUPLEX NAILS, IT
HAS TWO HEADS ON IT.
WHEN THIS IS POUNDED INTO MY
WINDOW FRAME, THAT.
WILL BE REMAINING OUT.
SO CAN I GRAB IT WITH A HAMMER
AND PULL IT OUT EASILY.
JAI AYE THEN YOU DON'T DAMAGE
ANY OF THE FLAME WORK.
ER DON'T DAMAGE ANY OF THE
FRAMEWORK.
TELL ME ABOUT THIS ALSO.
WITH YOUR HOUSES, SOMETIMES
LET'SCY YOU HAVE YOUR ROOF.
TALKING ABOUT EAVES.
IN HAWAI'I, UP UNTIL 1980S,
ALMOST ALL THE HOMES WERE
SINGLE WALL CONSTRUCTION.
THAT MEANS THE RAFTERS WERE
TOENAILED.
WOULD TAKE A 16 PENNY NAIL AND
NAIL ON BOTH SIDE WAS RAFTER.
NOT VERY SECURE.
YOU CAN REFIT YOUR HOME BY
BUYING HURRICANE TIES.
THESE GO ON BOTH SIDES.
ONE TO YOUR RAFTER.
ONE TO THE YOUREL SELF.
THEY HAVE THIS SIDE.
BE RIGHT ON THE POST.
MANY TYPES OF HURRICANE TIES
THAT CAN BE PURCHASED.
NOW, MOST HOME, ANY HOME IN
HAWAI'I BUILT AFTER 1993,
ALREADY HAS THESE CLIPS.
LOOK AT OLDER SINGLE WALL
CONSTRUCTION HOMES.
THERE'S A LOT OF THOSE
HOMES.
SO MANY DIFFERENT HOMES BUILT
'50, '60.
EACH CLIP HAS A HOLD-DOWN
FORCE.
30 RAFTER AS LONG YOUR HOME,
12,000 POUNDS ON YOUR ROOF.
REAL QUICK.
BEFORE WE GO HERE ON TAKE 2.
MOVE OVER HERE.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME MORE
NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO NEED
A GENERATOR.
BUT IF A HURRICANE WERE TO
HIT, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS PROBABLY THE REFRIGERATOR.
THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE SO MANY
THINGS THAT COULD GO BAD.
SO WHAT DO YOU NEED WHEN IT
COMES TO PROTECTING AND HAVING
GENERATING POWER FOR YOUR
REFRIGERATOR.
YOU NEED AT LEAST 1500
WATSON OF POWER.
THEY MAKE GENERATORS OF ALL
SIZES.
1500 C1500 WATANABES.
1200 WATSON
RECOMMEND 2500 TO 3,000WATT
GENERATOR.
IF YOU'RE A PERSON THAT NEVER
USES GENERATOR, LET'S SAY YOU
BUY ONE, TAKE IT HOME, PUT GAS
IN IT, THEN LEAVE IT IN YOUR
GARAGE FOR A COUPLE YEARS,
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, THE
GAS IS GOING TO GET JELLY
LIKE.
RUIN YOUR CARBURETOR.
I RECOMMEND FOR THE HOMEOWNER,
GOT BUY A GAS GENERATOR.
BY PROPANE GENERATOR.
PROPANE GENERATORS RUN ON
REGULAR STANDARD PROPANE TANKS
AND CARBURETOR STAYS CLEAN.
GOOD TO KNOW.
WATANABE
Jai: WE'LL POST THIS ON
OUR WEBSITE KHON2.COM TO
ACCESS THAT IF YOU WANTED TO
KNOW HOW TO BE READY FOR
HURRICANE SEASON WHICH RUNS
