The list previously identified, was excellent. I would include, consider putting a trickle charge on your car battery, lock the garage doors in case of a hurricane, turn off your garage electronic control devices, remove all trash, put cover on sink drains, I also spray raid along all garage door and home door entry ways. Turn off your electronic water heater if installed. Turn off water treatment systems. I test the water sprinklers a few days prior to leaving to see if they are all working. Based on season, I change the length of time for watering the grass. I also check the charge on my house cameras and electronic front door lock. Turn cameras on as I depart.
