  4. how to survive a blackout We have prepared a short video for you to watch .It is a survival guide to a blackout which we prepared this in QMH and we hope you enjoy . We must warn you that the connection with the video has not been working so please forgive us if it doesn't .

  5. power inverter • A power inverter, which turns DC current from your car into AC current for electric gadgets, is the next best thing to a generator when it comes to surviving a blackout. An inverter to power a tablet or laptop will cost you about $25, but there are much bigger models ($100 and up) that can run power tools and appliances

  6. CASH • In ablackout, cash is king and an essential part of your survival. Some stores may stay open, but they probably won’t be able to process credit card purchases. And all the cash machines will be useless: Keep an emergency cash stash on hand.

  7. L.E.D.S • During a power outage, LED flashlights and lanterns have a huge advantage over incandescent models: They allow batteries to last much longer (typically about six to ten times as long). And led technology isn’t just for flashlights. During a six-day outage Matt Kelly used LED “puck” lights, the type designed for under-cabinet lighting. “I stuck them up in bathrooms, bedrooms and hallways so we didn’t have to stumble around in the dark,”

  8. Fill the sinks and baths • When the power grid goes down, your city water system may soon follow. So fill up buckets and bottles for washing, flushing and drinking. Several of our Field Editors pointed out that the biggest reservoir in any home is the bathtub. And Tompkins Lee GIVES US A USEFUL TIP: “Duct tape the bathtub drain otherwise the water might get through in a few days

  9. Ice • By putting ice into a bag you are creating an instantly cold place-where you can store food and even use on injuries you might sustain while stumbling around in the dark . The bag is useful also because creates an easy transport system and if the ice melts it will be collected in the bag ready for drinking or washing

  10. Radio • You should spare a few batteries for a wireless radio , this way you can find out if there are any places still processing energy and weather reports
