  1. Hi Nick.

    Before the lectric goes out Fill the tub with water to flush toilets.

    Fill the car, gas stations won't work without electricity.

    Have some cash on hand, no electric, no debit cards or credit cards

    During an emergency, text, phone lines and wireless may be down.

    Open your new weather radio and see how it works.

    Oh and of course, pack the baby bag, get candles, flashlights and so on.
