Natural disasters and other major events have the potential to cause problems with the supply of electricity to your home. Here's how you can prepare for power disruption.
Things You’ll Need:
Distilled Water
Camping Lanterns
Flashlights
Cooking and Lighting
Step1
Stock extra candles, flashlights and extra batteries, lighters and matches.
Step2
For extra security, get a camping lantern with extra fuel and mantels and a camping stove.
Step3
If you have a fireplace or wood stove, consider getting a small metal rack, such as those used over campfires for cooking.
Step4
Stock up on paper plates, cups and plastic utensils to eliminate wasting water on dishwashing.
Keeping Warm
Step1
Make sure you have warm clothes appropriate for nighttime temperatures in your region. Dress in layers and remove layers when you are physically active.
Sweat can soak your clothing and ruin insulating properties.
Step2
Stock extra blankets and/or sleeping bags for every member of your household.
Step3
Stock up on extra wood if you have a fireplace or wood stove.
Step4
If the power stays out for an extended period, close off unneeded sections of your home and gather the members of your household in a central area.
Step5
Hang blankets over windows and use towels to block drafts under doors. Hang other blankets around sleeping areas. You are at a higher risk of freezing when you are sleeping and inactive.
