‼️ As we begin a new year, this is a great time to access how prepared you are for emergency situations that you could encounter where you live.


‼️One emergency everyone should prepare for is being without power for a prolonged period of time. There are many threats to the U.S. power grid including cyber attacks, coronal mass ejections (CME), electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and natural disasters.


‼️Make sure you are prepared with at least the following:


  1. WATER (https://amzn.to/4gBApZh) - FEMA recommends 1 gallon of water per person per day. There are various options for storing water including cases of bottled water, mylar water pouches, 5-gallon stackable containers, and 55-gallon barrels.


  1. FOOD STORAGE comprised of pantry items for short term, freeze dried foods bulk items stored in 5-gallon buckets for long term storage (https://amzn.to/4fIok3t).


  1. POWER SOURCES - Small Butane Cooking Stove (https://amzn.to/41Sz7on), Power Banks for charging smaller devices, Gas Generator (https://amzn.to/4fFpeO8) and/ or Solar Generator (https://amzn.to/40i3vao).


  1. FIRST AID SUPPLIES (https://amzn.to/40i2RtF) and any MEDICATIONS your family needs.


  2. COMMUNICATION- NOAA Radios to keep informed. Preferably a radio that can be charged multiple ways like battery, solar, USB, and hand crank. HAM Radios to communicate with other people. You will need a HAM radio license in order to speak on the radios.
