Getting Ready for a Natural Disaster Emergency
This week our whole state has been scurrying to get ready for the approaching hurricane, and my family is doing the same.
We found flashlights, made sure they all had fresh batteries, filled the bathtub with water, and bought emergency supplies. We also wanted to purchase plenty of food that you can eat that you don’t have to store in the fridge or freezer and you don’t have to cook. In other words, food you can store and eat when the power goes out.
When purchasing our emergency food, I wanted to make sure we were still getting plenty of nutrients by eating a somewhat balanced diet.
