At Lehman’s we have a saying, “Be prepared, not scared!”
Preparing your home for emergencies gives you and your family peace of mind. It’s a form of self-sufficiency (and insurance), and with a little preparation now, you’ll have the necessary supplies on hand for whenever you need them.
Not sure where to start? Remember, there are four essential things you’ll need during a power outage or emergency: water, food, heat and light.
Here are our tips and tools to help you prepare now:
#1 – Always have a source of water.
Water is one of life’s essentials – make sure you have access to clean water during an emergency. (A portable water filter will give you peace of mind!)
Best for On-the-Go: LifeStraw Peak Series – Solo Water Filter
Best for Multiple People: British Berkefeld Duke Gravity Water Filter – 2.25 Gal
Best for Accessing Well Water: Lehman’s Own Galvanized Well Bucket
#2 – Choose shelf-stable food.
Canned or freeze-dried food stores well and does not require refrigeration. Keep in mind how much you’ll need while choosing your emergency food supply. Are you stocking food for a 3-day power outage or a long-term emergency?
(Helpful Hint: Store a can opener with your canned goods, so you’ll have everything you need in one place.)
Best for Short-Term Emergencies: ReadyWise 72-Hour Emergency Food and Drink Supply
Best for Long-Term Emergencies: ReadyWise Freeze-Dried Powdered Eggs Bucket (144 Servings)
Best for Emergencies and Everyday Use: Lehman’s Canned Chicken
#3 – Keep your home warm and bright.
Wood-burning stoves provide reliable heat, even when the power’s out. A wood cookstove gives you versatility, too – you’ll have a source of heat and a way to cook and bake your meals.
Don’t forget non-electric lighting. Oil lamps offer soothing light, so you won’t be in the dark.
Best for Heating and Cooking: La Nordica Milly Wood Cook Stove
Economical Lighting: Lehman’s Vintage Nomad Oil Lamp
Best Non-Electric Lighting: Aladdin Genie III Oil Lamp
