3. Light Source
If there is no power, there is no light…or highly limited light. Nights can get pretty dark and scary. Get alternate light sources, like flashlights or battery-powered lanterns. It’s also a good idea to have a light that can stand independently and allow you to direct the light beam, freeing your hands to work. If you’re preparing a “bug out” bag, you want a sturdy, smaller flashlight that offers other features, too, like a jagged edge that can be used as a weapon. Do you need a flashlight that can illuminate a football field? Only if you need to see a football field at one time and want everybody to know where you are. Consider that in some emergency situations, it might be safer to not draw attention to your location. In the home, keep your flashlights in a place where you know they are, and have lots of batteries.
