What you'll do with it
- Tape the fridge times to the fridge: about 4 hours for the fridge, 48 for a full freezer, 24 for a half-full one.
- Keep the bleach drops in reach: 8 drops of 6% bleach per clear gallon, 16 if cloudy, then wait 30 minutes.
- Post the generator rules on the garage wall: outdoors, at least 20 feet from the house, never in the garage.
- Fill in your family check-in - two times a day, one out-of-area contact, three code words - and the 3 meeting points on card 08.
- Do the monthly 10-minute check: test the alarms, charge the power banks, swap water older than 6 months, keep the tank at least half full.
