Dealing with bad weather can happen in any part of the country. DealDash has some suggestions on how to help.

October and November are bad weather months for many parts of the country. From hurricanes to snowstorms, we all should be prepared for bad weather. When the power goes out and your home grows cold it can be very stressful. There are some ways to prepare for bad weather that you should know about. Read on for more information from DealDash.

Be Prepared with a Plan

To begin with, it can be difficult to know exactly when bad weather is going to happen. Sure, you can watch The Weather Channel to keep up-to-date on your area’s weather, but sometimes bad storms just pop up. Before bad weather rears its ugly head, you should create a plan with your family.  Be sure to give each of your family members instructions on what to do such as who gets the flashlights and batteries. When you have a plan you will be well prepared. Remember, even the youngest members of your family will want to be prepared with their own little flashlights and supplies.

Be Prepared with Necessary Supplies

Next, speaking of supplies, having a “Bad Weather Bag” can be very helpful. It is especially helpful if you live in an area that frequently has very bad weather such as coastal hurricane and flooding areas, tornado-prone areas, and places where you frequently have power outages. Depending on your situation, be prepared with some canned foods (with pull-tabs), plenty of bottled water, a battery or solar-powered radio, flashlights, and batteries. Before the weather gets extremely bad, sure that your phone is completely charged so you can get emergency and weather alerts.

Also, having a “power bank” that can recharge your phone without having to be plugged in is definitely a smart move. These preparations might seem silly until you really need them, but then they are essential. Personally, I also keep a couple of old cell phones in a drawer in my kitchen and plug them in every month or so. You can’t make personal calls on them, but if you are ever in an actual emergency, they are able to call 911. Be sure to check your specific phone to make sure that this is correct for your particular model.
