October Prime Day is a good time to stock up on emergency supplies
The last few weeks have been filled with headlines about weather emergencies — as several states are still reeling from the damage caused by Category 4 Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall on Wednesday night — and could do so as one of the most powerful Category 5 storms ever recorded.
Are you prepared for a weather catastrophe? Even if you don’t live somewhere prone to hurricanes, other dangerous disasters can happen: snowstorms, ice, droughts and dangerous heat. And weather isn’t the only thing to worry about. Earthquakes, wildfires, widespread power outages and other natural disasters can and do happen as well.
In this article: Duracell Optimum AA Batteries, 28-Count Pack, LifeStraw Personal Water Filter and Clozex Emergency Laceration Closures – Repair Wounds Without Stitches
