A major storm occurs. Are you prepared to be home-bound for an extended stay or will you be trying to brave it through the snow/ice/etc. to get essentials?

The power went out. Do you have anything to keep you warm and/or provide you with light?

The water main broke leaving you without water. Do you have any water stored to give you something to drink or allow basic hygiene cleansing?


Perhaps we should store up a few items "just in case".



Does that help?
That is the way to go right there. My wife almost has a panick attack when she thinks of this stuff. Unfortunately she is part of the majority that would rather wait till it happens and then panick then to just prepare a lil bit. PPPPPP!!! I cant get here to take a plan seriously, but I have one ready and precise details for her in case I am out of town or at work when it happens.

If your loved ones arent willing to prepare, all you can do is modify your plan to help them. All others are on there own.
