Preparing an alternate shelter

Preparing an alternate shelter in case of a natural disaster.

Remember the power outage in the state of Texas.  Many were taken by surprise.  No water, no power, which meant no heat.

Short List

You would do well to have 3 days of water and food.
blankets and a change of clothes.
flashlight and batteries.

This is the short list.

The long list takes more effort.

One thing to consider is wood.  I found a place that provides free wood.  This could heat a house with a fire place.  If not maybe a propane heater.  I remember people not being able to keep warm in the snow.  This website shows how to build your own solar generator which can provide power to run appliances.  These are ideas you can think about and implement.  

Even having a first aid kit with MRE’s is a way to prepare.

A serious prep would be a 2 week of food and water.  Flashlights and batteries.  A go bag with phone numbers and medicine and a few days clothes.
