9. Closed-toe shoes
If you’re in a hurry, you may not be able to pick your favorite shoes and that’s perfect because you need to take your closed-toe shoes.
“You might not know exactly where you’re going,” says Schlegelmilch. “If you have to be in a shelter environment or walking through areas, that’s just to protect your feet from all of that. If you can only grab one pair of shoes, don’t grab the flip flops.”
This could be essential in areas that have been destroyed by hurricanes or tornadoes. “There’s a lot of debris,” says Tornetta. “We want our team to wear closed-toe shoes so there’s no chance of getting a splinter or some kind of infection.”
