When regular electric service has been interrupted by damage to power lines or power stations due to storms, floods, land slides, earthquakes, it’s referred to as a power outage. Most people have come to rely on electric power for their day-to-day survival needs.  In some situations, electric power can be out for days or weeks. You can plan ahead for the possibility of losing electric power by knowing where the flashlight and other emergency supplies are kept.

During periods of emergency or disaster, sanitation levels can deteriorate rapidly and disease can spread and even cause death in a matter of days. Maintaining good hygiene will prevent disease and illness from spreading. You will need a sanitary way to use the restroom, a way to keep your living environment clean, and a way to keep your hands, mouth, and body clean.

#10: The Government Will Give Me Food in an Emergency.

Actually, the government usually doesn’t get aid to disaster-stricken areas for about three days, and even then, they can’t feed everyone. Besides, there doesn’t have to be a catastrophic disaster for you to need your food storage. Power outages that last for a couple weeks due to storms are not uncommon. In similar non-catastrophic emergencies, the government might not step in with aid at all. Its important to be self-reliant and not have your life depend on aid from the government, neighbors, family, or friends. Taking the responsibility for yourself and your own family will always prove the safest option.
