In Florida, hurricane season isn’t just a possibility—it’s a certainty. And while most people scramble at the last minute to grab bottled water and shutters, seasoned locals are thinking smarter. They’re using storage units as their year-round hurricane prep zones—and keeping garages, hallways, and closets clutter-free in the process.
Year-Round Peace of Mind in a Storage Unit
The key to storm readiness is accessibility. Many Floridians use their self storage unit to stage essential supplies long before the clouds roll in. Think generators, extra gas cans, sandbags, emergency tarps, battery-powered radios, and bulk water containers. Instead of tripping over these items at home or losing valuable garage space, a storage facility keeps everything secure and ready to go.
At Handy Storage in Dania Beach, our drive-up storage units make it easy to load and unload your storm kit without hauling it through hallways or elevators.
Smart Storage Means Faster Response
When a storm is approaching, you don’t want to dig through boxes or search the back of your shed. With an organized storage unit, you can roll up the door, grab what you need, and get your home secured fast. Many customers even label shelves and bins inside their units to keep storm prep efficient and stress-free.
Don’t Forget the Bigger Items
Larger emergency supplies—like generators, plywood, and even vehicle storage items like ATVs or trailers—are often tough to keep at home. That’s where our car storage, boat storage, and RV storage options come in. Protect your investments from storm damage and keep your driveway clear for safer evacuation routes.
Some residents also store patio furniture, grills, and even small boats in their units or designated boat storage areas, rather than risking damage or scrambling to find space at the last minute.

Hurricane prep doesn’t have to take over your home. With Handy Storage, you’ll have a secure, accessible location to keep your emergency gear organized all year long. It’s a simple move that can save you time, money, and stress when the forecast turns.
