That\u2019s why having a fully stocked emergency kit is so important. No matter the time of year, it\u2019s always better to play it safe.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you and your family be prepared, just in case?&nbsp; Putting essential supplies together doesn\u2019t have to be a chore and can even be done fairly quickly. You just need a list and a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need ideas? See below for useful items in any situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Communication: Stay connected even if you lose power. Try a hand-crank or battery-powered radio \u00e2\u20ac\u201d preferably one with charging ability to keep your devices running.&nbsp;<br \/><\/li><li>Lighting: A flashlight and batteries are a must. Get a few different types, like lanterns, floodlights and key chains. You never know how much light you\u2019ll need or where you\u2019ll need to take it. You can also stash a few candles and some matches.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Food and Water:<\/strong> Pack at least three days\u2019 worth of water, nonperishable foods and canned goods \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and don\u2019t forget the can opener. Think beans, nuts and seeds, protein bars and dried fruit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/><\/li><li><strong>First-Aid Supplies:<\/strong> You\u2019ll want a first-aid kit, complete with bandages, gauze, burn cream, antiseptic, sterile gloves, safety pins and more. Pain relievers and an extra supply of prescription medications are important, too.<br \/><\/li><li><strong>Clothing and Bedding:<\/strong> Every family member will need a few changes of clothes and portable bedding like sleeping bags, blankets and pillows.<br \/><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Miscellaneous Items:<\/strong> Cash, personal documents and paper maps might not seem essential now, but they could come in handy. Other nice-to-have items include duct tape, cleaning products and a multi tool.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no telling what the future may bring, so it\u2019s important to be prepared for anything. <a href=\"http:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/BobKratz.HowardHanna.com\">Get in touch today<\/a> for more home safety tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s face it: You can\u2019t predict the future.
