For example, do you leave the BBQ by the wall outside? I am not sure about this.
I have prepared with bottled water, dried food for several days, paper products, a manual generator with extension cords, 10 L gas in cans, charged up the iPhone and the power banks, car tank and cart tank full, checked on the neighbors if anyone needed help.
So far, in 5 years, I’ve never had to use any of it. I also have a Husky “card” table I can use for games or… it is strong enough to hold up the roof if it collapsed. I can get under it in an inner room in case of tornado. Fortunately the house is built high enough so no flooding, no big trees around and power lines are under ground.
