An Overlooked Problem

Currently, there are a number of places in the US that are currently without electrical power due to heat overloads, storms and other problems. In NYC, St. Louis and California there are hundreds of thousands of people (literally, that many) who have been without power for over a week. Think about that for a moment, and imagine how your life would change if you didn't have electrical power to rely on. All of the food in your fridge would be spoiled in a day. If you have electric stoves, you'd have nothing to cook with. No hot water from the water heater and no way to charge your cellphone or use your cordless home phone. You would be cut off.

Now, thinking about this, ask yourself - do I have adequate food storage?

Consider this another reminder to get your houses in order. It's not only hurricanes that can disrupt civilization.
