Exactly. I’ve been involved in too many SAR missions post weather events to not have a plan b. I have a 3 day storm kit with food, clothing and water for 4 people in a big storage tote. 40 bucks total. And a back up generator that’s large enough to run my furnace.
Here, we have two major threats, tornadoes and blizzards. The kit works for both. Course, it’d have to survive the tornado but being it’s in the crawl space, I figure barring a direct hit, it’ll be fine.
I’m not talking full doomsday with 5 years of supplies type thing but enough to at least be okay until help comes. 2-3 days
