Logical list but in the referenced calamities (Katrina, Japan), when their homes were washed away, might not one assume their supplies were similarly lost?

I will be gathering said supplies, however. Some of them, anyway.

How can you prepare ahead for essential perscription medicines?

[redlegplanner]

Told Doc office that I knocked a new 90 day supply bottle accidently into the toilet in the morning. Filled new prescription and began rotating as I go.

Extra pairs of glasses and or reading glasses...

What good does a well do, if you have no power?

[tomkat]

This is only one of a number of links I have bookmarked for ASAP purchase/installation :

Simple Pump

I've no affiliation w/above, but maybe it'd be a starting point for you.

[Farmer Dean]

Hand pumps are available,even for deep wells.

Well bucked for emergencies.

Not hard to use . Some wells will need you to pull a narrow pipe and filter out to use the bucket .
You should also store some spare parts for the well also .
Or you could put in a second well with a hand pump

How can you prepare ahead for essential perscription medicines?

My wife has been skipping her medicine one day a week to build up a stockpile in case of an emergency or a shortage. When she gets new medicine she replaces the pills she saved with the newer ones so she will always have the best shelf life possible.

If your wife’s meds are not narcotics or controlled substances, talk to your doc about putting in an emergency supply. Most docs are more conservative than you think. Of course, your insurance may not cover buying ahead.

[Proud2BeRight]

As long as she is safe doing that, a couple years and a good backup is saved up. I think I’ll research our various meds for that possibility.

We have a shallow well with a regular old-timey hand pump that would do in an emergency - water for flushing toilet, but would have to filter/boil to be potable. This well was replaced as a water source by a ‘deep’ well with a submersible pump that runs off electricicty so when the power goes, so goes the water until we can get the generator up & running - of course, if generator fuel runs out, we’re screwed!! This Simple Pump looks like just the thing we need to make the deep well accessible with no power - great link, thanks SO much!! I’ll be passing it on to a couple of folks.

You can also generally get a monthly prescription refilled after about 25 days.

You’ll gradually accumulate two month’s surplus after about ten months.

The complication will be that you will then have used-up your “12 refills”, and you’ll have to get a new prescription from your doctor; hopefully they’re not too picky about refills.

You're quite welcome .. ask the ones you pass it on to if they'll mention my referral .. maybe that outfit'll give me a discount .. LOL

It's pretty pricey (no, WAY pricey in this Øconomy) but seems to be just the thing for this little ranch too.

Pump can be installed indoors and in-line w/ the existing submersible, so it's de facto below the frost line, and you're not outside freezing your fanny off in the January.

I have about 250gal of storage, but a manual supply would be a comfort.

Now if there were only a way to stockpile HEAT w/o going broke and/or piling up 50 propane tanks !
