Preparing to Ride out a Severe Winter Storm

A severe arctic blast is threatening much of the eastern parts of the United States bringing with it record lows and bitterly cold winds. We thought now might be a good time to remind our friends of the best ways to prepare to hunker down in your homes until the storm blows over.

How do I prepare to survive a severe winter storm in my home? It is easier than you may think. We have outlined the process in these simple steps.

1. Stock up on Water
2. Stock up on Food
3. Stock up on Medication
4. Stock up on Sanitation Needs
5. Prepare Your Home
6. Prepare to Stay Warm Without Electricity
7. Prepare to Cook Indoors Without Electricity
8. Prepare to Light Your Home Without Electricity

Taking some time to prepare in each of these categories will make surviving a severe winter storm more like a grand adventure than a disaster. We hope that you will have electricity for the duration of the storm, but it is a good idea to be prepared for life without it. Winter storms are notorious for causing power outages.
