- *retrieve family members!!!!
*fill any gas containers you have(you should have gas stabilizer on hand already)
*if you are not on the east or west coast i.e. in a less densly populated area, you might want to go to the store for the last time to get some fresh produce, cheeses and meats.
*get cash from the ATM or drivethru if you dare(keep an N95 and gloves in the glove compartment of your car for this & hand gell too)
- *charge everything! cell phones, toothbrushes, flashlights, rechargable batteries etc.
*do all laundry(wash all bed linens and towels)
*fill all containers, bath tubs etc. with water and set up rain catcher outside
*vacume seal any misc items
*dehydrate frozen veggies from your freezer
*cook some food items from the freezer and some rice and pasta as well and have them ready to eat from the fridge
*run dishwasher if it is full or mostly full
*make phone calls to alert family and close friends
*set up your sick room
*shower!!
