supplies for hurricane season

If they buy supplies now, without the impending landfall of a hurricane, isn't that wasteful? I mean...all those nails and plywood are going to spoil.

According to my local paper, ice is included! Where is one supposed to store that much ice "just in case"?

Plywood isn't included. Once it's used, it warps and rots if it is not protected. Plus it is a general use construction material. I'm glad they did include storm shutters. The first year they didn't. Protecting your windows is one of the best things you can do. A window breaking from flying debris opens up a great hole in your house where the wind can come in and lift off your roof. Protecting your windows with storm panels that can be used year after year is a great idea.
