Emergency preparedness is super important.

We always have a possibility of being in an emergency situation, whether it is forest fires, severe weather, power outages or more.

Today, I want to share with you 8 emergency preparedness hacks that might help you get ready for one of these emergencies.

8 Crafty Emergency Preparedness Hacks for Your Family Survival

DIY Power Outage Kit @ Baby to Boomer

I love this idea because you know you can go to one place in your house and find everything you need to get through a power outage.

Make Your Own Emergency Toilet @ Mom With A Prep

This is a great idea to have in the back of your mind if you find yourself without water to run a conventional toilet or even if you are camping.

Emergency Preparedness Candle Kits @ Craft Yourself

This is a great idea for candle storage and gives you somewhere to put your candle when you need to use it.

Make A Candle from Crisco Container @ Survival Life

Crisco isn’t good for the body, but it just might work out great when you need light in an emergency.

Convert AAA Batteries into AA Batteries with Tin Foil @ Lifehacker

Batteries run out quickly, and even though you might be prepared for the short term, this is a great hack to know just in case.

How to Survive with a Sock @ Backpacker

I love these ideas. Who knew a sock could be so versatile?

Fuse Box Light @ Martha Stewart

When the lights go out, having a flashlight right by the fuse box would be super handy to find the right fuse to get the power back on.

Dryer Lint Fire Starter @ Willow Haven Outdoor

Worried about how to start a fire in an emergency? I love these lint balls in a small container that will help you get a fire going anywhere.

These are just a few ideas that can help you be prepared around your house for whatever might come your way.

If you try to do little things each month, over time you will be much more prepared for many different types of emergencies. You don’t have to do everything, all of the time.
