14. The best advice of all...
...reduce your dependence on the systems you're used to having available.

Food? Stock up. Buy what you eat anyway and rotate stock.

Power? Buy a small generator...save up for it over time and it's not hard to do.

Lights? Candles and LED lanterns.

Heat? If you have a fireplace, stock up on wood. If not, look for a cheap used woodburning stove.

Medical? Have a good first aid kit and supplement is as you're able.


All of these preparations are useful in the event of temporary disruptions caused by things like blizzards and hurricanes, and they could save your life in more dire circumstances. Just concentrate on gaining alternatives to the systems you're used to having available to you.
