A reader recently gave me two great suggestions that Ill pass onto you:
(1) Disguise your binder as a childrens artwork binder. Ive provided an artwork cover for you in this
printable if you would like to do this. Then, put all your documents between two pieces of childrens
art.
(2) Create a code system for your financial information. One idea is to use a 10 letter phrase such as
LIGHT BREAD for number L=0, I=1, G=2, H=3 etc) You can find other code ideas online.

38 Ways to Prepare For a Winter Storm
What to Prepare ..WAY Before
Make sure you have a 3 day supply of water (3 gallons per person) and easy to prepare food.
Purchase a NOAA Weather Radio
Make sure you have a good shovel.
Purchase a supply of flashlights and candles.
Clean and inspect your chimney if you have one. Make sure you have a supply of wood.
Make sure you have an ample supply of blankets
Clear rain gutters and repair roof leaks.
Research and purchase an alternate way of cooking.
Install carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
Learn how to care for frostbite and hypothermia
Weather strip any drafty doors or windows.
Purchase rock salt (or something similar) to help you keep walkways safe.
Install good winter tires on your car and make sure the wipers work well.
Make sure you have fire extinguishers in your home and that everyone can use them.
Consider purchasing a good supply of heat packs.
Consider purchasing a kerosene heater. Make sure it is legal in your area.
What to do During:
If temperatures are extremely low, turn on every faucet so that it is just barely dripping.
Open kitchen and sink cabinets and wrap them in newspaper to help insulate them.
Keep your thermostat set as high during the night as you have it during the day.
Avoid driving. If you must drive, make certain you have emergency supplies in your car.
Keep your radio nearby and listen for updates.
Stay Dry! Change your clothes immediately if you get wet.
Use Flashlights before candles to avoid the risk of house fire.
If your pipes freeze, warm them with a hair dryer. Or wrap them in rags. Open all faucets and
pour hot water over the pipes, starting where they were most exposed to the cold.
Use WD-40 on your snow shovel to make shoveling easier.
If the power goes out, put towels at the bottoms of doors that have gaps and cover single
paned or drafty windows with blankets. Close doors to un-needed rooms.
Dress in layers. Put on tights and / or long underwear and then more loose fitting, light
weight clothing. End with warm socks and a hoodie. Keep head and feet warm. You can also
cover your mouth with a scarf. Also, EAT! This will help your body produce more heat.
Have your entire family get in the same bed if possible to share warmth.
If an extended power outage is expected, put frozen food outside and refrigerated food in the
garage. These will likely be colder than your fridge (without power) after a day or so.
Unplug any important electrical equipment to avoid a surge when power is restored.
