In such uncertain times, it can help to feel a sense of control by being prepared for anything.
This year alone, the U.S. has seen severe power outages, unexpected winter storms, and panic-buying at grocery stores. Do you know what you’d do if you had to go without power or trips to the grocery store? If the answer is no, it might be time to build up a small emergency bag that can keep you going for a few days if anything happens in your area.
To help you get started, we’ve rounded up 20 emergency kits that can be helpful to have on-hand in a crisis. The best part? They’re all on sale now.
