OK all you North Westerners, the storm of the decade is headed our way. This is the remnants of a typhoon and has the potential to be stronger that the Columbus day storm of 1962. For all of you too young to know what that means, I will post some news articles. Put everything outside away. Get your Emergency readiness kits handy. You could have an extended power outage. Hunker down and stay put.
A basic emergency supply kit could include the following recommended items:
- Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
- Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- First aid kit
- Whistle to signal for help
- Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
- Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
- Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
- Manual can opener for food
- Local maps
- Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger
As always,
Stay Vigilant and Be Prepared
