THE ULTIMATE HURRICANE SHOPPING LIST (TOOLS EDITION)

Hurricane Preparedness Series | RCIP

When it comes to hurricane prep, food and water are only part of the story. The tools you have on hand can make the difference between chaos and control when a storm hits. This week, we’re giving you the ultimate shopping list — the tools and building essentials every Saint Lucian should stock up on before the next warning bulletin drops.

At Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products Ltd. (RCIP), we’re not just selling tools — we’re helping you build peace of mind.

Your RCIP Hurricane Tool Checklist

🔨 1. Hammer & Nails

For last-minute plywood boarding or roof patch-ups. Stock up on galvanized nails for longer-lasting protection.

🔧 2. Screwdrivers & Screws

Perfect for securing panels, tarps, and storm shutters. Get assorted sizes to handle different tasks quickly.

⚙️ 3. Cordless Drill

An essential power tool for fast fixes when time is against you. Be sure to have a charged backup battery.

🔩 4. Plywood & Fasteners

Board up windows or reinforce weak spots. RCIP offers quality marine plywood that holds strong in wet conditions.

🧱 5. Sandbags & Tarp

Protect entryways and low-lying areas from floodwaters. Tarps are great for roof leaks and emergency shelter.

🪚 6. Hand Saw or Chainsaw

After the storm, fallen trees and branches will block roads and driveways. Having a cutting tool on standby is a game-changer.

🧯 7. Work Gloves, Boots & Safety Gear

Don’t overlook protection for yourself! RCIP stocks industrial-grade gloves, helmets, goggles, and more.

🧰 8. Toolbox or Tool Belt

Keep everything in one place for quick access. A tool belt makes on-the-go repairs easier during the storm.

Stock Up Before the Shelves Are Empty

Storms don’t wait — and neither should you. Don’t wait until everyone’s panic buying. Stop in early and take advantage of RCIP’s affordable prices, expert advice, and full inventory of quality construction products.
