What Supplies To Refill Before An Emergency? | PDF Checklist

a few months ago i made a video called top off your preps which was basically a list of recommended things to do to top off your current emergency preparedness supplies when i did that particular video i did not include a pdf document that you can download well for this video i have included a pdf document that contains all of the recommendations from that previous video in addition to recommendations that you left in the comments section of that video you could download this pdf by clicking the link in the description box below so let's get started now with the list of things to do to top off your existing emergency preparedness supplies prior to a potential emergency let's get started this checklist assumes that you've already been prepping for a while and are not starting off from scratch many of these to do tasks are things to think about prior to a hurricane or a blizzard but they could also be done prior to large events that may result in civil unrest such as political election results remember always prioritize food and water first before moving on to any other additional items the concept of topping off could also be for non-physical things for example if you think a potential emergency may happen you might want to brush up on your first aid or cpr or other skills prior to that possible emergency situation occurring in that last video i said top off a whole bunch of times and people were starting to have a drinking game based off of it so i'd like to apologize for anyone that happened to get extremely drunk from watching that video so again download that pdf document i'm just going to list off all of the categories and top off tasks that are listed in the pdf checklist here are the things recommended for topping off your food if you feel that a possible emergency event is soon to happen and you just want a bunker in place for a little bit it would be a good idea to do a one-pay cycle grocery run so whatever you do for your normal grocery run for example on payday just do another one of those but this time a little early so in the checklist i have fill up your refrigerator supplies fill up your freezer supplies top off your pantry supplies and restock your pet food supply another thing that you should consider doing is topping off your canning supplies so getting a few extra of the one pint jars lids canning salt etc if you happen to have a power outage for an extended period of time you may want to consider moving that meat that was previously stored in the freezer over to cans by using a pressure canner for water fill up any empty or low water jugs that you happen to have we like using the 5 gallon water jugs next go over to the atm and make sure you have some cash on hand now dave ramsey recommends having a thousand dollars in cash ready to go but just do whatever you could afford again smaller bills are preferred next here's a list of recommendations for things to do with regard to electronics so you want to fully charge your large power banks like your energy or goal zero or anchor power banks fully charge all of your cell phones fully charge all hand-held radios fully charge all your tablets and handheld gaming devices this is something that will be handy for the kids you'll want to fully charge all cordless electronic tools like your drills and saws just make sure they're ready to go just in case and then lastly you want to make sure that you fully charge all of your rechargeable flashlights like your old light flashlights another thing to do for electronics is to refill your double a and aaa battery supply you may want to consider adding a couple extra cr2302s or cr123s if you happen to have red dot sights if applicable next let's go over things to top off for your fuel so again fill up all of your vehicle gas tanks next fill up all of your generator fuel tanks fill up any empty propane tanks that you use for your barbecue fill up your firewood supply if you happen to have a wood burning stove and then also fill up your charcoal supply for your barbecue dutch oven and other things here's a few of the hygiene things that i think are most important so just buy one large pack of paper towels one large pack of toilet paper extra jug of laundry detergent buy a box of baby wipes such as the kirkland signature baby wipes that you could get over at costco an extra jug of bleach for illumination make sure you fill up your candle supply if you use candles for medications just top off all of your basic over-the-counter medications and supplements that you already have in your home so check to see if you're low on anything like the painkillers allergy medicine heartburn medication multivitamins and things like that next make sure you refill your monthly prescription bottles i've been switching over to a 90 day supply which i think is preferred for morale i recommend filling up on your alcohol cigarettes or any kind of stress reliever supplies that you need also for morale just pick up some extra sweets and other comfort food if applicable for self-defense just fill up on your ammunition and for your vehicle in addition to filling up the gas tank make sure that you've topped off some of the basic set of supplies for a vehicle such as enough supplies for an oil change making sure you have some windshield wiper blades backup headlights and tail lights maybe even an extra car battery and things like that so i have all of those items listed in this top off your preps checklist so i have a column that has an x on it that has just a blank cell in there so you're just going to check those off as you go one by one to topping off your emergency preparedness supplies again this checklist assumes that you already have been prepping for a little bit if you have the financial means it might be a good idea to pay one or two months ahead on your bills such as your electricity bill the home heating fuel bill and more that's going to do it for this video
