Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday

A Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday is an event during which consumers can purchase specific emergency supplies without paying sales tax. This typically occurs before hurricane seasons or other disaster-prone periods and aims to encourage people to prepare for emergencies. Items often included are flashlights, batteries, first aid kits, and non-perishable food. By eliminating the sales tax, this initiative helps reduce costs, making it easier for individuals and families to stock up on vital supplies to ensure their safety and readiness in case of a natural disaster.
