Every emergency situation happens when you least expect it.

Imagine you’re coming back from work after a long Friday

You are thinking about how you’re going to spend the weekend with your family

When bam! You hear a heavy noise and your car begins to shake. Flat tire.

And just your luck, it’s pouring rain outside. Are you ready for this kind of situation?

Having a well-stocked car can be a real lifesaver when emergencies arise.

I want to give you the 7 essentials that every car should have to handle unexpected situations like a champ.

1) Spare tire, jack, and lug wrench

A flat tire can happen at any time. And trust me, you don’t want to be caught without what you need to repair it.

Make sure you have a spare tire, a jack, and a lug wrench in your car at any time.

2) Jumper cables

Dead batteries are a common concern. Sometimes it’s just a matter of giving your car a little jumpstart.

Having a good set of jumper cables in your trunk will ensure you can return to the road quickly.

3) First-aid kit

A solid first-aid kit will assist you with minor injuries for yourself and your loved ones.

4) Flashlight and batteries

Whether it’s a nighttime flat tire or a quick look under the hood, having a reliable flashlight with additional batteries will make everything easier during unexpected situations.

5) Emergency blankets and warm clothing

If you spend the night in your car, emergency blankets are essential for avoiding hypothermia. Especially in cold weather.

Everyone should have a few lightweight blankets in their cars.

6) Non-perishable food and water

Keep some non-perishable snacks and water in your car to ensure you will remain safe in case you’re stranded for an extended period.

7) Portable charger

Keeping your cellphone charged is essential for calling for aid and accessing valuable information.

A portable charger can be a lifesaver if your car battery fails, and you can’t charge your cellphone through the usual means.

So there you have it, folks.

A well-stocked car can make an incredible difference in emergency situations.

Take some time to gather these essentials and keep them in your vehicle.

Trust me, you’ll thank yourself when the unexpected happens.

What NOT to do in a Blackout

I’ve talked a lot about our unstable power grid before.

And what you should do the next time the power grid fails.

But what’s equally important is what NOT to do.

Because some mistakes are more dangerous than most people think.

  1. Opening the fridge for no reason.

Look, I understand, the first thing you might think about is whether your food’s going to spoil.

But every time you look inside that fridge, you’re letting out precious cold air.

Keep it shut, and your food will stay safe for up to 4 hours in the fridge and 48 hours in the freezer, provided you don’t go peeking!

If this time has passed already, and you want to test if your food is still safe to eat, follow these instructions.

And the same goes for your exterior doors.

Keep your doors and windows shut to maintain your house’s current temperature as much as possible. This is especially crucial in extreme weather conditions.

  1. Put down the candles.

Candles might seem like the obvious go-to for light, but they’re a fire hazard if you have children running around in the dark.

And especially in a prolonged outage, when we tend to forget about them.

It’s wiser to stick to solar flashlights or LED lanterns.

If you want to use candles, go ahead, but be very careful.

And don’t let your children near ‘em.

  1. Trying to use the elevator.

This one might seem like a no-brainer, but you’d be shocked by how many folks forget the elevator doesn’t work during power outages.

When the power’s out, those metal boxes turn into death traps.

If the elevator stops working when you’re already inside of it, stick to these 4 steps.

  1. Using generators indoors

Generators are a godsend during a blackout, but they’re also a source of carbon monoxide.

Don’t ever use them indoors or close to windows and doors. Keep them outside and away from your living spaces to escape any risks.

  1. Not staying put

This one’s for your children.

Unless it’s unsafe to stay in your house, the safest place to be during a blackout is exactly where they are.

Venturing outside can expose them to unnecessary hazards when streetlights and road signals are out.

Remember, folks, staying informed and prepared is your best defense against the challenges a blackout can bring.

Keep these tips in mind and you’ll navigate through the darkness like a pro.
