-Withdraw cash. If you need to buy anything for any reason, chances are the machines will be down and so will the banks.
-Make sure to have at least a week’s worth of food and fresh water (the water table can be contaminated in very bad storms).
-Pets will need food, water, and shelter too. Make sure when you stock up, you include them.
- Flash lights, batteries, flares, and as many solar powered lamps/generators as you can.
- Make sure you’re far enough away from open water to avoid storm surges, slides, etc.
- Don’t just rely on generators and heaters. Have lots of layered clothing/blankets/sleeping bags
- Always ALWAYS watch how much snow/ice is on your roof.
