I work for a local city as an Emergency Planner, so essentially. a professional prepper. I will take any opportunity I get to tell people to get prepared!! Canned goods, lots of water, warm clothes. These are the essentials. Most of us don’t have time to be growing and canning foods so I always tell people to create a back-up pantry in your garage in bins with all your non-perishables. Then every year or so, rotate, it. Bring all that stuff in to your regular pantry, and then refill your “back up pantry/emergency food” so avoid canned goods expiring. Easy/delicious: rice, oats, flour, fruit and veggies in water (you can reuse this to cook – i.e. some oats with a can of peaches – and make your water rations go further, tuna, etc etc etc)

HA! I just got that dress from Modcloth in the mail and I love it. It’s very comfortable and well made!
