1. Stock up
The first step in your winter emergency preparation is to stock up on essentials. This covers a lot of different areas, from foodstuffs to medication.
Fill up your family members/friend’s pantry with preservable goods. Tins and dried goods are a great way to ensure they’ll have a supply of food should they be unable to visit the supermarket.
If you plan ahead, you could even cook some meals for them and pop them in the freezer, so that they’ll always have food available over the winter months.
After this, please check their prescription medications.
Ideally, they will need seven days’ worth of medicines on hand. Supplement this with a fully stocked first aid kit.
You should also check any other goods they may need, including batteries, a flashlight, blankets and layers.
