(Bernie Carr) Not too long ago, my Dad, who is in his 80s, had a power outage at his home during a storm. He’s always been concerned about being prepared for emergencies so he does have power outage supplies. But being elderly, it would take him a while to get to the emergency kit, especially in the dark. Fortunately, my brother was with him when the power outage occurred and he helped gather up the flashlights. Being elderly, it normally would have take him a while to get to the emergency kit. The power outage lasted for a couple of hours. This got me thinking about prepping needs for seniors.
