Prepping for People Who Live Alone or Whose Spouse Cannot Help

from Practical Prepping Podcast Hosted by Mark & Krista Lawley

Preparedness advice often assumes there are multiple capable adults in the home, but that is not always reality. Some people live alone, and others have a spouse who may be out of town, sick, injured, caring for others, or unable to help during a crisis. In this episode, we talk about building an emergency plan that works when you are the only functioning adult available. You will learn how to create a simple check-in plan, use written checklists, arrange supplies so they are easy to reach, prepare medical information, think through transportation backups, and include pets in your plan.
