But I think you've got a solid list there.<BR/><BR/>The one thing I'd add is to not forget about entertainment. I know your family is not one that relies solely upon electronics for stuff to do, but if your electricity is out and it's dangerous outside, it's easy to get cabin fever. I've heard it recommended that you set aside some new or seldom-played-with board games or card games, or a book of new card games to learn, so that if you do end up cooped up, there will be something different to do. Maybe stashing a few long, exciting books to be read aloud as a family that you haven't heard before would be a good idea?<BR/><BR/>As a tip, we've found an easy way to make sure that the pet food in our emergency kit is always fresh. We simply bought two big bags of food--one in the house and one in the shed (with the kit). When the one in the house runs out, we buy a new one and put it in the shed and then use the one that was in the shed. That way we are always rotating the bags and know that should we need to fall back on it, the dog food won't be years old or have gone bad.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602537176271396377noreply@blogger.com
