We live 1 hour north of Pennsylvannia and just this year we felt the aftershocks of an earthquake, experienced hurricane Irene's fury and shoveled out 6 inches of snow just a few days before halloween.
Any old storm seems to cause a power outage in our neighborhood so we always have flashlights handy. After hurricane Irene, I got serious regarding emergency preparedness for my family. Here's a list of things to have handy in your home - set a box aside with these contents thats easily accessible in case of an emergency. Make sure to keep checking the food for expiration dates.
