    Storm and Disaster Preparedness, and what emergency supplies to have is a running theme on GardenFork. Today Rick and Will take over the podcast to what to be prepared for and how to create a simple plan. This is National Preparedness Month, after all.

    What kind of storms and natural disasters happen in your area? The most common of these should be the focus of your emergency prep. Keep these items dry, you may want to put them in zipper plastic bags. You can pretty large zipper bags, btw.

    Duracell batteries now last 10 years, according to the manufacturer, so I buy a large pack of D and AA batteries. Keep these batteries in their packaging. If loose in a bag, they can contact each other and possibly drain power.

    Will has some good points for keeping kids busy during power outages, with a pack of fun items that are only allowed to be used during a blackout. Smart of Will to have this.

    3 must have tools to prepare for power outages.

    For more on what items to have in an emergency what Eric in this video.
