Katherine here again, today’s topic is a day without electricity, what would you do if you couldn’t access energy? Would you be prepared to function without energy? Of course, you would have to. If we think smart enough we can survive any situation. However, not being able to have electricity will cause a great impact on our whole community. Here are a few tips to prepare yourself in case we have A Day Without Electricity.

Protect yourself and your family in case of A Day Without Electricity. 

Have a backpack in your storage/ garage for each and every member that lives in your household. That backpack includes these items that will help you survive a power outage.

A Day Without Electricity Back-up Backpacks

Essentials to survive if the power grid fails

  1. Food: Overall I believe having food stored in case of any emergency (not being able to cook while having no electricity at home) is one of the most important things to have.
    • Canned fruit & veggies
    • Granola bars
    • Jerky (You need that protein)
    • Trail mix, dried fruit, nuts
    • Don’t forget about your pets, have a bag of your pet food stored for them just in case.
  2. Water: Staying hydrated will be absolutely necessary. In case you don’t have electricity and possibly do not know when exactly the lights will be back you want to make sure you have clean water to drink.
    • 2 liters of water is enough to get you through a day without electricity.
    • Gatorade helps keep those electrolytes needed in your body.
  3. Cell phone available: Having access to your phone in case of an electricity outage, helps you stay in communication with the world. By the same token, have an extra battery for your phone in case of an emergency.
  4. Include these items in your backpack:
    • Flashlight
    • First aid kit
    • Medicine
    • Spare Batteries
    • Hand-crank powered radio
