Lighting
Imagine a situation where your entire town or city is out of power for weeks. It happens quite often. You should be prepared for it.
You should have backup lighting for your home and a few battery operated lanterns.
In each of your emergency bags you should have:
INCH Bag
Duration: 1 week or More
Use:
Long-Term Catastrophic Emergencies: House Fire, Tsunami, Earthquake, Hurricane, Super Storm, Military Strife
Must Have Gear:
Water, Food, Clothing, Tents, Tarps, Stove, Tables, Chairs, Sleeping Gear, Batteries, Lights, Tools, Cordage
The "I'm Never Coming Home" INCH acronym is hopefully not as bad as it sounds: eventually you should be going home.
Wake Up, Stuffs* Happening!
*Use your preferred colorful metaphor
How do you prepare for those fast happening emergencies that occur in the middle of the night?
A friend of the family was woken out of a dead sleep in at 4 am by his cat. His house was on fire and he only had a few moments to get our of bed and collect his wife, 2 kids, and dog (the cat got out on his own, but was nice enough to give them a warning beforehand!)
The house was almost completely destroyed, all of the bedrooms and the home office were lost. Photos, computers, office filing cabinet: all gone.
