Fuel During a Disaster

So you have done a great job of getting your food storage, shelter, and clothing ready. But have you considered Fuel? What will you use to power that generator? What will you use if there is power?
Freeze Dried Foods help you because you don have to cook them. But what about keeping warm? What about a light source? What about the ability to keep connected and get emergency news?
Here are a few items you can take advantage of to help you be ready:
Keeping Warm:
Emergency Blankets
Hand Warmers
Magnesium Fire Starters
Water Proof Matches
Wood for Fuel
Sources of Light:
Flashlights
Dynamo Lights
Candles
Light Sticks
Lanterns
Communication:
Solar Powered Radios
Dynamo Powered Radios
Another way to be prepared is to think about using alternative energy sources as a backup for your local power grid. There are many home wind-power kits you can purchase as well as solar-power kits. These can be placed in areas of your yard or home where they will hardly be noticed. These could produce enough power to eliminate your need to be connected to the grid.
Some of the benefits of doing that include reduced costs and in some areas the power company will actually pay you for providing some of your extra power to them.
In addition to electricity, make sure that you store an adequate supply of fuel for the use of your generators in the case of a power outage. Check with your local officials for
the proper way to store fuel safely. Energy is something most of us take for granted these days. Make sure you are not left without it when disasters strike.
