      @@greeneyedlady5580 , OK…. Standard home owner’s insurance does not cover floods anyway. That comes from a specific flood insurance policy. We don’t have hurricanes, ice storms, etc. earthquake is always coming one day, but you can’t see if they have denied earthquake claims, because se haven’t had earthquakes that required claims.
      I’m sort of in the dark as to what the issue is with concern about denied home insurance claims?

    We had to evacuate our home last week for a gas leak. It ended up being a small incident but we learned from it. The worst two things were trying to agree on whether to evacuate or not. It took an officer to tell him us. The pther thing was trying to round up five cats and get them into their carriers. We learned a lot grom this experience and are making changes as needed to our plan

    The tip about getting local maps is a very important one! We were in Western North Carolina for Helene and the entire regional cell network went down. No power and no cell service meant no GPS and no Google Maps. We haven't lived here long and I was stuck racking my brain just to remember how the major highways connected to one another, much less what secondary or tertiary roads might be available! It was a lot of extra stress that a good set of maps would've completely erased. Remember that in a disaster or evacuation, it's also going to be nigh-impossible to get gas, so you can't make a lot of mistakes and wrong turns while driving.

    Don't forget to prep for your pets! Doggie backpacks, dog crates, extra leashes/collars, food and water, medication, dog first aid kit, dog sweater and raincoat, chew bone, copy of immunizations. I practiced loading our car with our human emergency kits, dog emergency kit, dog crates, and of course space for humans. It is snug but we can fit! This is literally the only reason I have not adopted more- no more room in the evacuation car! 🐾🐕🐕🐾

    Great intro to prepping video. Just want to note I have also obtained local maps from Chambers of Commerce, especially in smaller population areas. I also tie checking bags, emergency kits, vehicles, etc. to the solstices and equinoxes. That works for me. I've known people to do this when the time changes spring and fall, or tied to some other thing that occurs more often than once a year but less frequently than once a month. Or just put it on your calendar. You don't have to do all your checks at one of these times, in fact, I suggest doing some at one point and some at another to avoid being overwhelmed.

For local and area maps, I'd check with the Chamber of Commerce. Many areas have them available at visitors centers. Every state will have state maps available, and you can probably get them for free from their tourism department. An almanac, from a bookstore, can show you the major highways, and give you a good overview of a region.

      No, it's not crazy at all. It's a very responsible thing to do for your family. I first started to get a little prepared when we had a reluctant small quake in 1985. With no guidance at all, I made go bags/emergency bags for my son and myself. I've had to dip into my emergencies supplies on occasion, but then replaced them as soon as possible.

      So long as you have all the basics ready to deploy...from one or two boxes always at the ready and readily to hand.
      Also try isolating the power by throwing the power breaker in your mains box for a day or two and see if there is anything you need to obtain or use to be more ready when power is lost for real.

      Also don't just hoard gear..only get what you need and learn how to use it! Try ot out and make sure it works before you need it!! Most people just buy n set on a shelf to collect dust. Also you should be going through every 6 months to check expiration dates, rotation of certain things and changing out seasonal items as needed.
