I will keep saying, get your ducks in a row for what might come for your family and community with this administration.
Think about what you wish you'd had in place when COVID hit, and have that.
Think about what you would want if water wasn't safe, if power went out for an extended period, etc.

Have passports as of last year for all of us. Plus birth certificate, marriage license, car titles, etc.
Part of it was motivated because I had started taking meds that made my liquor collection useless, but still.
(Taste is honestly pretty important if I want my toddler to drink the water!)

I'm keeping that uppermost in my mind.
Plan accordingly.
I will never forget the fear and desperation I felt back then. I don't want to have to go through that again
I was always dreading a vet visit then, because I would not have been okay handing the Vet the carrier & sitting out in my car, hoping everything was alright.
As for cat food, I literally burst into tears of relief once back then ordering a flat from Amazon.
Every budget frm $150 to $8000k for a whole house. They’re not fixed to the roof/home.
Mine was $1400 but they’re on sale now +/- $800.

Robust disaster response.

Which means a lot of the stuff you might want to accumulate for disaster response could become inordinately expensive suddenly.
So you may want to get a deep freeze and stock it now.
I don't say this idly- we had the electrician in today to do 200 amp power install because we are getting solar ASAP now. And heat pump estimate visit is tomorrow.
You might know this already but not everyone does, so just FYI.
But I do intend to have some portable Anker batteries set and charged for tech for emergencies.
Well, I got a battery backup with my solar panels in 2020 because it was the only way that the solar panels will work with the grid down.
You might ask your contractor about that.
I’ve been paralyzed by solar for fear of the scam companies. I would love to get it going though. Any advice for finding a REAL contractor?
Make a plan. Be prepared for various scenarios.
Well, us Texans are fucked.
