Economic Ignorance Further Hampers Hurricane Sandy Victims

"and the means to keep them"

Do you mean guns or do you mean storage for those anti-biotics.<<

No. Assumed that the first order of business was the 'Biblical sword'.

First priority: a Bible

Second priority: defend your life and that of your wife and children

Third priority: guns - without which all else devolves to meaningless

Yes, to "storage". acqueous Penicillins and other antibiotics (unless in tab form) need to be refrigerated. A small insulated chest that'll run on Direct Current, a small solar panel, and a 12 volt auto battery.

Otherwise, two rounded clay pots - one large and one small enough to place inside the larger, yet still allow a goodly amount of wet sand to pack between the two - with an insulating lid on top. (third world fridge - when one has to make do, one makes do)

Back in 2004 when 3 hurricanes hit Flordia, My husband and I were forced to live without electricy for four weeks. It's because we aren't in a subdivision but on a rural line of our own. Part of the roof was gone, too. Instead of freezing cold, it was Florida's hottest month.

The generator operated 2 items. We chose to run a fan and the TV. Survival lessons were learned. It was tough for us spoiled Americans, but we learned how to get by off the grid. No fun, for sure! I feel so much for the Sandy victims, who are getting it even worse than we did!!

I took off from work for a week and wound up staying about 2 weeks. We went to stay with her because she had knee surgery just a few weeks prior, so my brother stayed one week and they got hit with the first HC, and than I went down and got the next two. Her power was off for about a week total for the three HCs, of course the forth one went up the west coast and did some damage there.
