Reverse Mortgage Guide

Let’s face it, there are times when the nearby supermarket is just not there. Think of hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, etc. In such times you need to be prepared.

Eton, a company which sells emergency radios and other gear, has a useful guide to emergency preparedness.

For instance, it says you have some cash on hand because ATMs won’t work if the power is out. Also, it says you need at least one gallon of water per day per person. You should have at least a three-day supply of food and other necessities, including medicines.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as the Mormon Church), believes strongly that members and others should have extensive emergency supplies. A good description of what should be kept on hand can be found at Emergency Preparedness (year’s supply of food, 72 hour kit). This article dates from 2001, so you may want to increase the suggested levels of cash.

Also, forget about battery-powered radios and lights. Instead, get models you can crank for power — there are no batteries to go dead.
