Ten Must-Have Hurricane Survival Supplies!

Virgin Islanders have suffered through the devastation left by natural disasters for centuries! Plagued by hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes, they have fought back with a spirit of resiliency.

Although they didn't have access to the resources we have today, they cleaned up and rebuilt their homes, their communities and their lives.

As our family attempts to do the same in St. John, they are overwhelmed by one particular malady....the swarming of black, mosquito clouds that attack them incessantly! 

As I prepare a care package for them, inside will be the highest-rated, technologically advanced products for mosquito eradication! 🙂

For those sending care packages too, here's a small sampling of top-rated items to consider that will make life a little more bearable until the clean up and rebuilding process is well on its way.
