Most people in modern society aren't really worried about long term disasters that will last more than a few weeks.
It's just not something that really happens and has very little chance to happen.
This is why many don't have any supplies at home to be ready for something like this.
One type of disaster happens every year and many don't do anything about it even though this one is likely.
This is the winter storm that keeps you stuck in your house or even your car.
Don't make these mistakes with winter storms else you could get yourself into trouble.
One mistake is not having any food at home.
Some people always go out for their meals and have very little food at home since they hardly ever eat at home.
While you might enjoy this lifestyle, it's still a good practice to keep more than a few days worth of food at home just in case especially if you live in the areas of the country that snow.
If you don't need the supplies, you can give them away or use them in a couple meals at home.
You might think you will always have water, but this isn't true.
You need to keep some water at home just in case it's cut off as your plumbing might freeze.
Keep a few gallons of water on hand just in case.
You can take it one step further and have a way of purifying water which will give you what you need.
Be sure that you have a heat source at home.
If you lose power, which is common, you still need something to keep yourself warm.
The easiest way of doing this is to have extra blankets that will keep you warm no matter what.
Don't make the mistake of not having some supplies in your car.
The same supplies are needed in your car in case it goes off the road and you get stuck.
Those with supplies have a better chance of living.
Also you will be comfortable staying with your car which is the safest.
Don't think this can't happen to you.
Do a little bit of preparation and prevent the problems from happening.
