BLEACH
Bleach tablets are an excellent choice for those that have limited space and do not want to deal with storing a lot of liquid bleach. The tablets also have a much longer shelf life than liquid bleach.

MEDICATIONS FOR FEVER AND FLU
Mucinex Extended-Release Maximum Strength– Helps expel mucus for 12 hours with a single tablet dose. I looked it up and even with high blood pressure, my Dad can take this too.
Advil Liqui-Gels. If you have a family and they are all feverish, you can go through a lot of fever reducers. I ordered a 200 count bottle of Liqui-Gels the other day. They take effect a bit faster than tablets.
Also stock up on your prescription medications.

ADDITIONAL IDEAS IF YOU ARE STAYING HOME:
FREE $15 BOXED GROCERIES- SHIPPED TO YOU
1. Flashlights and lantern
2. If your heat is electric, think ahead to how you'll keep warm in a cold climate. Portable heater? Fireplace? Blankets work, until it's 40 degrees in your home.
3. Stock up on water and food. Food should be ready to eat in a can, that doesn't require heating. This assortment of camping foods
4. Speaking of food, food in the fridge lasts 6 hours, the freezer a little longer. Keep the fridge closed during the outage and your food may last a little longer.
5. Cell phone. Our cordless phone went completely dead in the outage and I couldn't find the corded phone. Luckily, Walt had a battery powered cell phone charger like this one
6. Cash. It's good to have cash on hand for emergencies, in cash you need to go to the store and their credit card machines aren't working. This was actually happened a few times to me.
7. Full gas tank. This is one thing I try and have all winter long but the last few days I didn't have even a 1/4 tank of gasoline. In an emergency, everyone heads to the gas stations and as you may have seen on the news in the past, it can be total chaos.
8. Games and books for the little ones. Uncharged iPads and computers are useless in an outage. Cam had 25% charge left on his iPad and he was able to conserve it pretty well. But if you know bad weather is heading your way, charge up your electronics ahead of time. And have a stash of games and books just in case.
9. Extra medication. We always have extra over the counter medications, like Tylenol, Pepcid, Excedrin, etc. Also a good idea to have extra prescription medication on hand, especially emergency medications like asthma inhalers and blood pressure medication.
