    Useful places to start

    What should my household do first during an outage? A private, fixed-choice plan for the household systems an outage can disrupt. How much water should I store? A drinking and cooking baseline, confirmed extra water, container capacity, and filled weight. Is my fridge or freezer food still usable? A refrigerator/freezer timeline that hands off from elapsed time to temperature evidence. How long will my battery last? Runtime from constant watts or measured 24-hour energy, with a separate running-output check.
