Essential Supplies
Water is Life:
Aim to store at least one gallon of water per person per day, enough to last for three to seven days. Water should be stored in plastic containers. Keep purification filters and tablets on hand.
Food for Your Family:
Stockpile non-perishable foods to sustain your family and pets for three days to a week. Consider canned goods, powdered drinks, and boxed meals.
Alternative Cooking Methods
Have a backup cooking source, such as a barbecue or propane stove, in case electricity or gas becomes unavailable. Ensure your propane tank is full and have an extra tank ready.
Essentials for Comfort and Safety
Clothing and Bedding:
Keep an accessible supply of clothes and sleeping bags for each family member.
Wood Supply:
Maintain a stockpile of quality wood for fireplaces or wood-burning stoves.

Flashlights are vital during emergencies. Opt for solar-rechargeable or hand-crank models to eliminate concerns about battery life.
Health and Wellness
Medications:
Maintain a supply of both prescription and non-prescription medications. Contact health providers in advance for refills.
Financial Preparedness
Cash and Fuel:
Have cash on hand in case ATMs or bank systems fail. Keep your car’s gas tank at least half full to avoid long lines at gas stations.
Entertainment and Social Connections
Books and Games:
Keep books and board games available to provide entertainment during power outages.
Know Your Neighbors:
Familiarize yourself with your neighbors, as mutual assistance may be necessary if basic services are disrupted.
