Power Outage Survival Guide: Keep Your Home Running

The grid will fail again — the only question is whether it’s an inconvenience or a crisis. This 13-page guide builds your outage resilience in three layers, from a $100 weekend kit to full week-long independence: power stations, solar refuel loops, generators, food safety, heating, cooling, and medical-device backup.

Includes the sizing math made simple (runtime = watt-hours ÷ watts), the generator safety rules people die ignoring, and the first-hour outage drill to run the moment the lights go out.

Inside you’ll get:

• Layer 1: the sub-$100 basics kit (light, phone power, radio, comfort)
• Layer 2: portable power stations — sizing math, what size you need, solar pairing
• Layer 3: generators — types, sizing with surge margin, fuel storage
• Generator safety: the CO rules, no-backfeed rule, placement — read twice
• Fridge & freezer rules: the 4-hour / 40°F rule and pre-storm tactics
• Heating without power (safe methods + never-do list) and cooling without A/C
• Medical devices: CPAP, oxygen, refrigerated meds — backup plans that work
• Communication plan, extended-outage living, renter/apartment adaptations
• Three budget paths ($100 / $800 / $2,000) + twice-yearly maintenance calendar
• Printable one-page outage plan for the fridge door
