Since we're heading into hurricane season on the east coast, I thought I'd blow some ideas by you about being prepared. Remember, these tips are for any type of disaster or power outage from snow, hurricanes, flooding, you name it. Did you know that the average grocery store has only a 3 day supply of food? That fact alone has inspired me to make sure that I have plenty of canned and dried food on hand. Some food suggestions include canned beans, oatmeal, granola, peanut butter, crackers, dried fruit, nuts, vitamins, and baby food or formula. You can cook food on a gas stove or grill, but make sure you have matches to light the stove. The rule of thumb for water supply is one gallon per person for day with at least a 3 day supply. That's a lot of water! Don't forget to have an extra supply of prescription medications- especially for conditions such as diabetes. Take inventory of your supplies and replace batteries, candles, matches, and other supplies as needed. Make sure you know where your supplies are! If you know a storm is coming, make sure your vehicle has a full tank of gas. Don't forget to check on elderly neighbors or friends who live alone. Not everyone reads this blog and will be as prepared as you! =) Now that I've scared some sense into you, check out these helpful websites for more info:
