Be prepared.
And be cost-conscious.
A state sales tax-holiday on hurricane-related items takes place June 1-14.
Another tax holiday on storm supplies will be Aug. 24-Sept. 6.
During both periods, qualifying items related to disaster preparedness would exempt from sales tax, including flashlights, lanterns, batteries, radios, tarps, coolers and generators.
