1. In case of power outage, filling your 🛁bathtub with 💧water provides you with a water source for bathing, cleaning, & flushing toilets.

2. ❄️Cold temperatures can 🪫reduce battery performance, leading to faster drain. 🔋Charging you phone before a storm can help maintain its battery life.

3. Check that your 🥤emergency supplies, including batteries, 🔦flashlights, and first aid kits, are fully stocked and ready to use.

4. Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to 🥶hypothermia, frostbite, and 📉weakened immune systems

5. During a winter storm, power outages can occur. Having🍜🥘 prepared meals can provide a source of nutrition and energy during those power outages.

6. 🚰Dripping faucets keeps water moving through pipes, making it harder for 🧊ice to form inside the pipes.

🛒 Grocery Game Plan Tips

Make a grocery list before you shop. Write down the ingredients for the meals you plan to make, then check your fridge, freezer, and cabinets to cross off what you already have. Don’t forget basics like fruits, vegetables, and milk. Keep an ongoing list on your phone or in your kitchen and add items as you run out.

Prep ahead when you get home by washing/chopping veggies or cooking grains in batches. Cook once and eat all week by doubling recipes and freezing extras. Plan meals that make leftovers, and involve your family in the process.

Good planning saves time, money, and stress!
