What is in a winter survival kit? How do I prepare one?

Prepare a winter survival kit           

            Severe winter storms often bring heavy accumulation of ice and snow, which can lead to downed power lines and extended outages. Broad River Electric crews will work hard to restore power but having a winter survival kit on hand is a smart idea.

  • Food: Store food that does not require cooking, such as canned goods, crackers, dehydrated meats and dried fruit. Keep a large supply of water on hand. Ready.gov recommends five gallons per person.
  • Medication: Be sure to refill all prescriptions in the event of a major power outage.
  • Identification: Keep all forms of identification handy, such as driver’s licenses, photo IDs and social security cards. Bank account information and insurance policies are also good to have on hand.
  • Other items: First Aid Kit, blankets, flashlight, battery-powered radio and extra batteries.
