Charge all batteries in the house immediately before power outages.
Fill all containers with water. Fill bathtub.
Take baths before you’re without water.
Pack the freezer with water to freeze to extend cold temps.
Get the grill and supplies ready so you’ll have something to cook on.
HOT DAM ! .. you are good !
But you forgot life preservers - if you are close to the saltwater, or a river.
An axe if you get caught in your attic, without an exit during flooding
Copies of legal documents (birth certif./passport/credit cards/ cash/etc.) in a ziplock bag
A filled bathtub contains 25 gallons-to-340 gallons depending on size and contours - average hot water tank holds 30-50 gallons of fresh water
and the toilet refill tank holds 3-5 gallons, ~ but don't drink from the bowl !!
Good on Ya ! for the ice to extend the cold temps, but don't forget that our parents used to insulate with multiple layers of newspapers
Don't forget the gas for the grill ~ but if I want gas,.. I eat sauerkraut, .. and make apologies later,.. much later !
And re-charge your cellphone whenever possible (to reach out to someone not in your predicament) and establish contact with other family members/ or at a rally point.
Thanks for the reminder on the grill, well, a propane stove actually. If the natural gas line goes down I will need something more than my BBQ grill to fry up eggs or whatever. Was able to find a sturdy one-burner for about $60 on Amazon.
