Imagine the lights just went out ...

And stayed out for three days or more. Add a powerful winter storm, and unsafe roads out there. Do you have what you need to weather the storm? Make an inventory of the food, water and emergency supplies, such as batteries, that you have on hand. When you go to the store, start stocking up, little by little. You don't have to invest a lot at one time -- simple steps will get you there. There" is more prepared."
