Situation: Power Outage

So, how was life at your home last week when the power was out for several hours?

While it's still fresh, consider where you weren't prepared and get prepared!

I had flashlights handy in an upstairs kitchen cupboard, but didn't have any downstairs (where it's the darkest).

I needed another flashlight so I went to my 72-hour kit and got my flashlight but was sad to see that the batteries were dead! So this week, I'm off to get more batteries and a couple flashlights to store downstairs.

Share with us—what do you wish you would have had readily available, or what did you have handy that made the situation manageable? What will you do this week?

  1. I wish I had a battery-operated radio handy.

  2. I would suggest a hand-crank radio and/or flashlight, in case of dead batteries or lost batteries.
