Hurricane Irene Checklist and Match-Ups

 
With Hurricane Irene on her way, a reader recommended I put together a list for everyone.  Excellent idea, but my time was a little limited, so I employed the help of Coupon Queen That Saves The Green to help me put something together.  Here is a  check list and some links for coupons on items you may need/want. Please feel free to add to it, by posting in the comments section below and I will update the official list throughout the day.
Many stores sell ready-made hurricane safety kits, but it can be just as easy and more affordable to gather everyday items from around your home.
Here is a check list that could come in handy. Print this list so you can refer to it as you gather your items.
