Ask The Experts: Being ready for the storm is a huge part of the battle!

4/27/2021 (Permalink)

Storms can happen at any time since as we all know the weather in the Chicago area can be unpredictable to say the least. Being prepared is a must so here is our recommended list:

• Flashlight with extra batteries
• First Aid Kit
• Cellphone battery back up charger
• Canned food
• Manual Can Opener
• Bottled Water
• Blankets
• Fire Extinguisher
• Battery Power Radio

Having these items may help keep panic at a minimum.  Keep these items in a safe place you can go in the event of any type of storm.  If you have a basement, or possibly in a bathroom closet if you do not have a basement. The canned food should have a long shelf life so be sure to check expiration dates at least once a year and replenish your supply if necessary. Also be sure to regularly test your batteries.
