As soon as the power goes out in Boise, you are going to find yourself in the dark. This can be problematic not only because you can’t see, but also because you don’t have power to do all of the things that you have grown accustomed to being able to do. There are some tips that can help you navigate and survive until the power company gets your lights back on.
Have Multiple Light Sources
You want to make sure you have the means of having light in various sources. This can include lanterns, candles, as well as flashlights. Anything battery operated also means having plenty of back-up batteries so you don’t run out.
Think About Sustenance
Billions of dollars’ worth of food is lost every year around the US because of power going out. You want to be sure you have food to feed your family. Bottles of frozen water can be kept in the freezer so you can maintain a cooler temperature for longer.
You also want at least one week’s worth of food that doesn’t need to be heated or refrigerated. Popular items include jerky, granola bars, tuna packs, MREs, and peanut butter.
Focus on Survival
Depending on the season your power goes out in Idaho, you may want to have battery-powered fans to stay cool or heavy blankets to stay warm. You may also want to invest in a generator so that you don’t have to worry about food spoiling in your freezer or having lights in order for you and your family to see from one room to another.
