Prepare an Emergency Power Outage Kit

The Problem

Power outages from storms leave you scrambling in the dark for flashlights that have dead batteries.

The Hack

Assemble in a clear bin: 2 flashlights + extra batteries, battery radio, gallon of water per person, phone charger bank, first aid kit, important documents copy.

Why It Works

Having supplies pre-assembled means zero panic during an outage. Everything is in one grab-and-go location.

Pro Tips

• Check and refresh kit every 6 months
• Keep a charged power bank in the kit
• Add blankets in winter weather areas
• Store kit somewhere accessible, not buried in the garage
