Hurricane Season will be here soon....
1. The government recommends having 3-7 days' worth of supplies on hand. This is because it normally takes a minimum of 72 hours for the local and federal governments to put their aid programs into place. History has shown, however, that having 3-4 weeks' worth of supplies would be even better. More than that is not going to hurt, either.
2. Camping equipment can make living without power quite comfortable. There are products available for cooking, heating water, water purification, etc. You can have all the comforts of home.
3. Don't wait until a hurricane is on the way before preparing. Most people wait until the last minute. If you wait until a hurricane is headed your way, you will find an empty store. (Try finding batteries, milk and bread when a hurricane is headed your way - forget it.)
4. Set up your plan now. Will you go or stay? Where are you going to go? Can you leave? (Hubby is in law enforcement, so he can't evacuate - so the plan is for him to stay and the kids and I may stay or go, depending on how bad the storm is.)
The key is to prepare, and not panic.
Life: Nature's way of keeping meat fresh
Getting old ain't for sissy's
As you are I was, as I am you will be
You can't fix stupid, but you can always out smart it.
