One of the sadder outcomes of Katrina was the animals left behind. Have a plan that accommodates your pets including where you can stay, medicines, a vet in the area you're evacuating to, and anything the pet loves that makes them comfortable.

It's just like in the saying that "Prevention is better than cure!". Being prepared in all kinds of unexpected events and calamities should take its first place and should not wait for being late and to be remedied after it happens. Nice and very helpful tips.

Thanks for this post. Good preparation check lists. Preparedness is one of the things that we should give priority with in our daily living. I agree with this post that we should collect enough food that could last for a week. I had experience being trapped in our house for almost four days because of a strong typhoon. I'm glad that we were safe but with an empty and starving stomach. That's I'm always prepared today. Thanks again. A very helpful tips! Thanks for this post. Good preparation check lists.

In addition to a battery powered emergency radio, I would also highly recommend crank radios. Yes, I am obviously biased, but with good reason. My family and I made it through what was, arguably, the worst hurricane season ever in Florida several years back and lost the roof of our barn, parts of our fence and house and more. We lived without power for days as well. Communication can not only be a lifesaver, but also a boredom saver. I also like the suggestion of keeping your Bible or other key reading materials close as well as important medicine. Thanks all! Good stuff.

It caused all sorts of damage. The downtown area was a mess, and many businesses near the harbor suddenly had a lot of water. Our electricity was out for well over a week. I was working out of the home at the time, and our office was shut down for that first week. That made me become a bit more prepared. Although I had all the stuff in the house, it would have been nice if I had kept it all in one location. There was a tropical storm that whipped through Maryland about four or five years ago.

I used to live in NC where we never got snow..only ice that would knock out the power. I was glad I had a fireplace. :) I agree.

The heat and cold can be equally devasting although with the cold, layers of blankets and clothing help. You have a great list of ways to prepare. My wife would especially appreciate your clean house/dishwasher/laundry suggestion. You can never be too prepared for a power outage.
