🏡 WHY PREPARE BEFORE NOVEMBER 5TH?

Winter emergencies aren’t always dramatic blizzards.

Sometimes they’re ordinary problems:

⚡ A power outage after sunset
🌧️ Cold rain soaking your clothes
🚗 A vehicle stranded on an icy road
🚰 A frozen pipe interrupting water service
🔦 A flashlight with dead batteries
📱 A phone that dies when you need an important number
🥶 A cold house with no working furnace

The best emergency supplies are the ones you can actually find, reach, and use when they’re needed.

🔦 CHEAP POWER OUTAGE PREPAREDNESS TIPS

✅ Keep a working flashlight or headlamp near each bed.
✅ Store extra batteries with your emergency lights.
✅ Keep emergency blankets and warm clothing accessible.
✅ Store at least one gallon of water per person per day.
✅ Maintain foods that are simple to prepare.
✅ Keep a written list of emergency phone numbers.
✅ Test equipment before the first winter storm.
✅ Build your emergency kit gradually instead of panic buying.

📓 WHAT SHOULD GO IN YOUR EMERGENCY NOTEBOOK?

Write down family phone numbers, trusted neighbors, medical contacts, medication information, utility outage numbers, insurance details, and your household’s emergency meeting place.

Store the notebook in a waterproof bag with a pen and pencil.

A digital backup is useful, but a paper copy doesn’t need electricity.

⚠️ SAFETY NOTES

Prices and product availability vary by store and may change. Never use candles or portable fuel-burning cooking equipment as indoor heating sources. Keep flames away from combustible materials and never leave them unattended. Hand warmers can cause burns if misused. Reflective blankets are supplemental protection, not a substitute for adequate winter shelter and clothing.

If you suspect hypothermia, carbon monoxide exposure, or another medical emergency, seek immediate assistance.
