Keep an extra phone book in the trunk of your car, so that you'll have any number you need in case of emergency. Locksmith, directions to hard to find stores, anything & anyone you might need to contact from the road will be at your fingertips.

| Kitchen Fires
|
|
If grease catches fire, put a large pot lid over it at once to cut off the oxygen supply; or pour baking soda on the flames, and they'll disappear.

| Take Inventory of All Your Belongings
|
|
Create an inventory list and do a room to room video log of all your belongings. Leave out nothing of importance to you. Add a written report of where purchased, value, etc. Some insurance companies require detailed lists of what you are replacing before they settle with you. My sister had to do this from memory after her home was blown apart and scattered for miles from a tornado. Vacuum seal your records and place in your freezer. It's easier to find big objects after the storm and the rains that always follow a tornado.

| Documents and Safe Storage
|
|
With all the trouble we are having with weather created disasters, we need to make sure we have records of importance in a few safe places. Security boxes and locked freezers work well. I feel much safer with them sealed in an airtight bag as well, then placed in the storage box (freezer or security box). With all the mess these floods are causing, what a relief it is to have dry documents when you need them.

| Preparing for Winter - Buy Essentials Before Winter Hits
|
|
The best way is to prepare before winter (or bad weather). Stock up on things that disappear literally in hours from stores: batteries, water, flashlights. Buy a few things every few weeks and keep them in a certain place. We don't have "winter" here, but we do have hurricanes, tornadoes, etc., and the preparation is similar.
Also, a generator is a good investment for power outages.

| Camping or Driving Safety Blanket
|
|
Keep in your auto a couple of drape panels with the pleats cut off folded stored in your auto or camping supplies. If on the road, camping or if you have to walk in wet weather open one of the drape panels and place the rubberized side next to you to hold heat in and away to keep wet off. If you do not have any extra at home these drapes are cheap at yard sales or thrift stores.They will help block wind when you bundle up in them.
What keeps the heat or cold out of your house at the windows can do the same for your body and are easily and cheaply replaced.
