Are you completely dependent on the power company to provide the electricity that you and your family need? What if you were forced to stay in your home for an extended period of time and the power went down? What would you do then? The truth is that a lot of people think about storing up food and water for emergencies, but very few people think about what they will do for power in emergency situations.
