The winter season can be pretty brutal, even in Georgia. We have been known to suffer through an ice storm or two every once in a while, which not only down power lines and trees but also make the roads more hazardous to use. The following are a few items for disaster preparedness in Georgia you should have:

A hand crank light – A hand crank light is something every storm kit should have. It requires neither electricity or batteries, just wind it up and the super-bright LED light turns on.
- A hand crank radio – Just like the hand crank light, this radio operates without batteries, allowing you to keep up with storm-related news in order to keep you prepared.
- Emergency kit – You should have an emergency kit in your home in case the power goes out or you become trapped inside. This kit should include non-perishable food, a flashlight, extra batteries, a first-aid kit, family medication, cash, copies of personal documents, a week-long supply of medications and bottled water.
