Emergency Supplies
Why do people always wait until the last minute to buy emergency supplies for a hurricane?
Things like batteries, generators, bottled water and plywood which folks in Texas are now having the nerve to complain about stores running out of them?
Wouldn’t it be a better idea to maintain a stash of these kinds of things in your attic so you wouldn’t have to fight lines of 1a thousand people at Home Depot whenever there’s a hurricane bearing down on you?
Fuzzy, batteries have a shelf life of at least five years. Bottled water could last at least a year if not more. When these items expire after a couple of years, you simply buy new ones. What’s so hard about that?
Gee, I didn’t know generators had shelf lives. Duhhhhh. I’ll have to check the expiration date the next time I go to buy one. Don’t want a stale generator.
Good grief.
I realize that people have a hard time buying their daily necessities but if they can’t afford to maintain and replenish a simple and inexpensive emergency kit like this, then maybe they ought to consider food stamps.
I think that the main reason is, we are generally in denial. We try to beleive that it won’t happen to us. Storage can be an issue but, that is more of an excuse than a reason. Did you notice that those that were the least prepared were the ones that complained the loudest about not getting help?
