Thanks for the flashlight tips - might just check it out.

The new stuff is up now: EmergWeb - a button on the main city site. It's the place you'd go for breaking info in a real emergency and, well, you can check it out.

Chandler was my favourite! I'm honoured. Despite the gender difference (and the fact that I'm technically an adult) I've often imagined I'm him.

Yeah, I don't know what anyone does for a living either. Heck, I can't even really explain what hubby does.

We don't have a kit together either... really should. I know we have a wind-up flashlight and radio, but not sure where they are.

I do know where all our canned food is. hmm, but if I don't find the flashlight, I won't be able to see what I'm opening. Could be pasta sauce, could be coconut milk...

glad you liked this post! :) and thanks for the site... it's quite thorough! lots of info there...

you know you can get wind-up flash lights at Princess Auto for $8... we let the kids use them if they want to look at books at night... if they fall asleep with them on, it's okay!

I didn't know you were in Emergency Preparedness... it's embarrassing how little I know about what my RL friends really do for a living... I know you work for the city and that's pretty much it... myrtle works at the wheat board and that's it... albert? nortel, and that it's it... argh! you're all Chandler to me, and that's bad!!!

for some more good emergency preparedness info. There's a link to a CMHC report "Cooling Rates of Houses During Extended Power Failures" (the nerdy me just loves that)

Winnipeggers, watch your local media tonight/tomorrow for further information available (very) soon.

no.

Good to know such close neighbours are! ;-)

We have:
- a wind-up radio (discussed previously);
- about eight flashlights that I can't keep up with the batteries for. I bought four new ones a few weeks ago (because I could never find one) INCLUDING a sacrificial "play" one; waved the others around and threatened something akin to The Rack for touching them, and yet still, there's only one left with juice in it... grrr...
- 35 gallons of water & at least one meal of sushi! ;-) yuck... but, if there's no power, they're going to die anyway.

Seriously - being involved in Emergency Preparedness as I am, it is embarassing that I am not better prepared. Especially since I would likely be called away from my family during such a time! Thanks for highlighting this. I think I'm going to get on it.
