If the power went out, how would you eat? The refrigerator would not keep food cold and the microwave would not warm it. Clean water might not come out of the faucet. You could not check a TV or computer to learn whether it was safe to play outside.
Being prepared is not only about staying safe during a storm or disaster. It is also about staying comfortable, clean, fed and healthy afterwards, when electricity may be out.
Why a kit
Without power you may be unable to get to a store or a bank. Ready.gov says to keep your own food, water, cash and other supplies to last for at least three days, and possibly longer if you are in a remote or hard-to-reach area.
What should go in your kit?
Your kit depends on your own needs. Start with the basics, then add anything your family needs, such as supplies for pets or seniors.
