As soon a second you find out that a power outage will last more than a few days, it’s a good idea to switch from thinking about short term coping to long term adaptation of how you do things. Try to set up a solar or wind generator and battery storage system that will let you generate and store enough power to run a few basic appliances. Some of your refrigerated food can last for a while just fine without refrigeration, while other items can be canned or dried.
Key Takeaways:
- Many of the items in your refrigerator can last for a good while without refrigeration, and others can be preserved by canning or drying.
- Installing a wind or solar generator and a power storage system can give you access to enough power to run a few basic appliances or charge your phone.
- You can also make a zeer pot to preserve food by placing a smaller pot inside a larger pot, filling the space between them with very wet sand, and then covering it.
