1. Consider Your Heat Source
You may want to look into a generator that could power a heat source for a short time or to power something else that you may need.
2. Have Your Pantry Prepared
Before winter comes, I start thinking about things that we can eat that don’t need to be cooked. I like to stock up on granola bars, crackers, that kind of thing. I also stockpile different meds like Tylenol and also first aid stuff.
3. Make Sure You Have Plenty of Water
Don’t forget to stockpile water as well! A basic rule of thumb is to stock one gallon of water per person per day and to have at least three days of water on hand. If you have space to do more then this is great!
4. Make Sure All Areas Around Your Doors Are Sealed
You can buy some inexpensive foam door tape and place it around any doors without a proper fit or seal. It’s amazing what $5 can do!
5. Make Sure Your Cars Is Ready
Get the oil changed. Put in anti-ice windshield washer fluid. Check and replace the windshield wiper blades if they need it. If you have a 4×4, make sure the 4 wheel drive is working properly. Make sure you have a winter emergency kit in your car.
