This is a special for those on the eastern united states, this storm could be a real problem.

Expected is power outages, storm surges along with high tides. Subways, airports and local transportation could get shutdown again as we see just how bad it gets. Called Frankenstorm, it is made worse by two weather fronts running into each other on Tuesday morning around New York, New Jersey area.

You need to do a SitRep (situation report) for you and your family asap, it’s the weekend, just get it done. Look at:

• Food and water on hand
• Energy production possible? (generator)
• Lighting
• Food Heating and Cooking
• Toilet Facilites
• Security
• Job Travel
• Communications under normal and loss of power
• Blankets and Alternate Heat Source
• Danger from Nature, buildings or people

NOW, NOW, NOW that you have the report, you need to understand  just where you are short and long on preparations. Start plugging the most gaping holes first, Food and Water top the list. Make an evac plan but realizing that bugging in may be your best option. If you have most of the items covered where you are at, you should not move unless you have lost critical items or there is eminent danger.

Since I know you ALL have 72hr kits, no problem…….right?
