5 things you might want to think about today:
1. Get to know your neighbors and establish your plan:
Resources and skills- what do you have and what can
you do.
2. Begin preparation for food and water storage.
3. Have a backup plan for lights (candles, oil lamps), heating (wood stove, fireplace insert), and cooking (camp stove, kitchen gas stove that does not require electricity).
4. Plan your victory garden and order seeds.
5. Prepare a grab and go bag for your car: tent, sleeping bag, flashlights, camp stove, water, you know the drill.
Backup plans assume that if all services cease, you do with what you have where you are—in the country or the city. Call forth your common sense. Unplug and think. What would I do if . . .
Take the first step: learn to cook, bake a loaf of bread, set up a tent, filter water.
Stay focused.
