If you live in a region prone to extremely cold weather, pack warmer pads. They come in sizes fit for hands, feet, and bodies (core). Also, sock and glove liners are excellent ways to keep your extremities protected.
For Warm Weather Shelter
In many natural disasters, after the worst is over, you may have to seek temporary shelter. Consider buying a tent. Many tents on the market today are lightweight and compact. And it could mean you won’t have to stay at the local school with all of your neighbors.
Don’t Forget
Diapers, baby food, or formula
Contact lenses, reading glasses, or extra prescription glasses
Items for family members with medical conditions
Money, clothes, shoes, and blankets

Equipment to Prevent Disasters
Water Pumps - Many flooded basements could be salvaged with the installation of a submersible pump. Most are equipped with a float switch, which means they’ll start to work as soon as the water triggers them.
Generators - Getting snowed in can mean a day or two off from work and some fun in the snow. It can turn into an episode of Survivor: Extreme Cold. Don’t get stuck without electricity again this winter.
Over Prepared?
Is there such a thing as being over prepared? Well, you certainly shouldn't have to buy a bigger house to hold your survival supplies. But, a few simple items could make the difference between depending on others for your safety and being a haven of safety for your family and neighbors.
