PrepperApp @PrepperAppNet

🌊 New free tool: how high is your home? Type your address, slide the water up and see what happens, plus where the nearest dry place is. No sign-up, nothing stored. prepperapp.net/hoe-hoog #FloodRisk #Preparedness

Storms, floods, blackouts. Not because something is coming, because anything can. Could your home last 3 days? 👇 #BeReady #Preparedness #EmergencyKit

@Filii_libertas Solid list. Cheapest way to start: fill clean soda bottles from the tap, write the date on them and swap every 6 months. And if a storm is coming, fill the bathtub too so you've got water for flushing.

@GigiisTx1968 "You don't have to know what's coming to be prepared for what might" is a great line. The neighborhood plan is the one most people skip, and in a real outage it's often what helps the most.

@CedarRivers Good summary. The rolling stock point is the one people miss: no special "prepper food" needed, just a few extra of what you already eat, oldest first. Here in the Netherlands it's the same 72 hours under "Denk vooruit".

3 power cut hacks nobody tells you 🔌 Which one did you not know? 👇

Power cut tonight? Don't light candles, build a lamp 💡 Strap a head torch around a bottle of water (light facing in) and one small beam becomes a soft glow for the whole room. No head torch? Phone torch facing up, bottle on top.

I live below sea level. One dike between my town and the water. So I made sure my family is ready for 3 days without power, internet or signal. Would you know what to do? #preparedness #blackout

@StirlingCouncil Thanks for the updates. For anyone in the area still without power tonight: call 105 for updates and to join the Priority Services Register if someone at home is vulnerable, and please knock on an older neighbour's door to check they're warm.

@NWSWPC Good reminder. Easy ones people skip: keep the car tank at least half full, charge power banks before the storm hits, and write a few key phone numbers on paper in case your phone dies. Small stuff, big difference.

Phones and internet down. Family in different places. Do you have a meeting point agreed? Most people don't 👀 A spot near home, one further away, and a fixed time to check in. Takes 5 minutes to sort.

@CHH117L Typical, wind finally drops and then the lights go 😩 Hope it's back quickly. Keep the fridge and freezer shut and a torch handy, and pop 105 in if you want an update from the network.

@BuskersNE Fire on and a drink in hand, that's how you do a power cut properly 🔥 Hope it's back on soon in Seahouses!

@phenominal_liz Honestly a monthly big shop is basically prepping without even trying 😂 You're already ahead of most people this week, let them stare!

@MIKE_CAVS_UK Watching a game-winner on half a bar of 4G in a power cut is peak stress 😂 Glad it was worth it! Keep a power bank charged for the next one, a dying phone on top of that would've been brutal

@AlauraNights24 Oof, sorry about the drive 😣 Might be worth a small UPS for the PC at some point, it gives you a few minutes to save and shut down properly when the power drops. Hope the storm calms down soon!

@xQueen_Piscesx Made a short video on this too: the EU, Sweden, the Netherlands and now the UK all give the same 3-day advice 👇

@xQueen_Piscesx It's mostly because 3 days is roughly how long it can take to get power, water or help back to everyone after something like a big storm. It's a starting point, not a limit. Plenty of people build up to a week or two over time

@meljomur Touch wood it stays that way tonight 🤞 A torch by the bed just in case never hurts!

@Deeploomatic No need to panic buy a wind-up one. Any small radio that runs on normal batteries does the job, and your car radio works too. Just keep a few spare batteries with it 📻

The EU, Sweden, the Netherlands and now the UK are all asking the same thing: be ready for 3 days 🏠 Not panic, just a few basics. How many days could your home last? 👇 #BeReady #StormBoelo #PowerCut
