Like millions of Americans, I am absolutely riveted to the coverage of Hurricane Sandy, glued to The Weather Channel's nonstop reporting. It's staggering to think of how many people will be affected by this natural disaster that's been called The Storm of the Century.
Prolonged power outages are a given, and residents along the East Coast have spent much of the weekend stocking up on supplies. Tens of millions of people will be affected.
Everytime an event like this happens, there's the well-intentioned vow many of us take. Yes, we know we really should put together a disaster preparedness kit so if you're in harm's way you can "shelter in place." But, then the storm passes and life goes on.
Still, maybe it doesn't have to be such a chore to assemble some supplies. There are lots of options for pre-assembled kits, and it really wouldn't be a big hassle if you put together some non-perishable foods while doing routine shopping. My husband has his camping supplies, but they're scattered here and there in the garage. I'd feel a lot better if we had the water filter, head lamps and cook stove all together and I'm going to volunteer to make that happen.
Unfortunately, it's too late to prepare for Sandy, but here's a link to the guide on getting ready for disasters to come.
