*Make lots of ice…you can use it to drink as well as helping to keep your freezer and refrigerator cold if the power goes out, also invest in bottles of water and freeze them!
*Get paper plates, plastic cups and utensils to replace your regular stuff – you may not be able to wash dishes for a few days
*If you lose power, shine a flashlight toward the ceiling to illuminate the entire room, also get solar energy lights to set outside during the day and use them at night!
*If you have a grill, get lots of propane or charcoal – (DONT USE IT INDOORS) you have no idea what extremes you will go to if you’ve been without coffee for 2 or 3 days plus, you can cook food that is in danger of spoiling. You may wind up having a block party if everyone is in the same boat.
*Consider getting a kit that will boil one cup of water chemically. Campmore has them.
*Remove or tie down anything in your yard that may become a projectile.
*Get lots of cash and gas
*Get a book you’ve always been meaning to read.
*MOST IMPORTANT: Fill your tub with water and have a bucket handy and use the water from the tub so you can flush your toilet after going potty!
*It’s a dangerous time. Even afterward there may be no traffic lights, wires and trees in the road and obstacles everywhere you try to go. Stores will be closed, no ATMs and no electronic media will be working. Think of it as an adventure in the 19th century. Good luck.

an early adopter of technology.
While sources vary, most say that the millennial generation was born
between 1980 and 2001 and many are graduating this spring. While this
generation isn’t afraid of hard work, they do want the flexibility and
lifestyle not available through more traditional job paths. So the next
time you’re having the career talk with your kids, consider this: a career
