After last week’s snowstorm and major power outage, I reviewed my emergency procedures. I pretty much had everything I needed. 
It was finding everything. I realized that what I thought was a plan wasn’t useful unless I knew how to implement it.
After the power was restored, I cleared one drawer in the armoire and designated it my emergency supply center. I loaded it with the items I used during my ordeal. Then I gathered a few more I thought I might need, if the power was off longer than the two and a half days I’d already endured.
Light to see by was my first priority when the lights went out. A flashlight and a pack of extra batteries, of course, were first to go in. Followed by large candles, plenty of matches and some fire starter 
sticks. Keeping the fire blazing provided both warm and light.
For and an extended outage I also included: Emergency Ration Bars and MRE’s in case my food supply runs out. A bag of jelly beans for quick energy. And a cool WaterBob, a liner for the bathtub that will hold a supply of drinking water for six weeks! A first aid kit and emergency radio are next to go into the drawer. Close by are plenty of blankets and my Bible.
Although tending the fire was a physical chore, I would have gone a little stir crazy if I didn’t get some good exercise, so my bike filled 
that need perfectly. My laptop battery died at some point and I had to hunt for appropriate writing paper. As a writer of a historical romance novel, I was being inspired moment by moment and I didn’t want to lose a word! A stack of legal pads and pens now occupy a corner of my drawer. I think I’m all set!
So what’s in your Emergency Kit? Do you know where it is? What am I missing that you would add?
