With winter weather approaching- could you get by for 72 hours if the power went out, you lost running water, or you had another emergency?
Think about what your household would need for three days. Do you know where your flashlight is? Is your power bank charged? What would the kids, Elders or anyone you care for need? Don’t forget your pets.
You probably already have some items you need. Start by putting them together and letting everyone know where find them. Add what you can over time. If you already have a kit, this is a good time to check batteries and expiry dates, and you should add anything new your household needs since your last inspection.
Take a minute to talk with family and neighbours about who you’ll check on if the power goes out or the roads close. A quick conversation now can make it easier to look out for each other later!
