From the Apartment Prepper blog: "Smart Steps Apartment Dwellers Should Take for 2026 Risks." Almost everything discussed in this article is applicable to those of you living in single-family homes, and certainly the seven general categories/topics do:
- Prepare for Winter Power Outages
- Review Food Storage After the Holidays
- Water Storage Is Non-Negotiable
- January Is Prime Time for Health Preparedness
- Plan for Rising Costs and Supply Issues
- Know Your Building’s Emergency Weak Points
- Refresh Your Go-Bag for Winter Conditions
Really. on topic 6 goes into topics that might not be applicable to those living in single-family homes because the author urges the readers to consider questions like "what if the elevator stops" or "where are stairwells and emergency exits," and to "Note exits, fire extinguishers, and bulletin boards with emergency instructions." But the general idea is still applicable: Where are the exits from your home or, should you not be able to leave from your front exit, other exits from your yard/property? Where are your fire extinguishers (and do you have any)?
