Prepare a medicine kit. Due to the scattered and flying debris, there is a great chance that someone from your family will get hurt. Hence, you need to have antibiotics to prevent any infection. Furthermore, always consider to include aspirin and paracetamol in your kit. With the poor temperature and ventilation, expect that your children will be exposed to fever.

Another source of electricity. Batteries for flashlight and radio. Generator for your heater. Those things are very important while waiting for the installation of the electricity. During winter, no certain people are saving with the freezing cold without any heat source. You must take it in mind to always prepare yourself for the possibility. Especially on your power source. You would be needing it to get contact to the news from the other world. Communication and security are few of the things it can offer.
