A good many of us lost power during the winter storm here in NS yesterday. However were you prepared in the event that you could lose your power. When the next storm rolls around ( and it soon will) here is a list of a few things to consider having around when and if you lose your power

• Canned goods (especially stews and soups)
• Bottled water (should be 1 gallon per person per day, should last for at least 3 days)
• Cereal
• Snacks like cookies and crackers in sealed packages
• Peanut butter
• Canned salmon and tuna
• Canned vegetables
• Hard cheeses (wax sealed)
• Jarred sauce and dried pasta
• Nuts
• Dried fruit
• Energy bars
• Jerky
• Coffee, hot cocoa mix, and tea
• Shelf-stable juice
• Paper towels and toilet paper
• Eggs
• Bottled water
• Week supply of your prescriptions
• Bread
• Pet food
• Lots and lots of board games & books

Other than your kitchen, please include these things in your emergency kit

• Battery operated radio
• Flashlights
• Batteries
• Waterproof matches
• Can opener
• Solar chargers or portable power banks
• First aid kit
• Battery Operated Generator
• Rock Salt
• Shovel

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.
