For Garfield Heights households
Write the plan on a calm night.
When the power goes out at 2 a.m. nobody remembers where the water main is, who has Grandma's pills, or where the family meets. Stormbook puts it all in one private book you can print and stick on the fridge.
Free to start · Plus $1.95/month or $19.50/year · free during preview
Inside the book
Six short chapters. One evening.
Each one asks a handful of plain questions. Skip what does not apply. Change it any time from the same private link.
- 01Who lives hereNames, and what each person needs: medicines, glasses, a cane, a device that needs power.
- 02PetsWho they are and what they need, so nobody is left behind.
- 03Where we meetOne spot outside the house, one outside the neighborhood, one out-of-town contact everyone can call.
- 04Shut-offsWhere the gas meter, water main and breaker panel are, in your own words.
- 05Our numbersYour doctor, pharmacy, neighbor, work, plus the Garfield Heights call sheet.
- 06Power we needWhat must stay on in an outage, and how big a battery or generator that takes.
Then print it: a one-page fridge sheet (free) and wallet cards for everyone (Plus).
Kit math
A family of four and a dog, two weeks at home.
Using Ready.gov's one gallon per person per day and the Red Cross two-week supply for staying home:
Work out your own household- Water
- 56 gallons
- Food
- 56 person-days
- Medicines
- 7 days
- Pet
- +1
about 467 lb, so store it where it is going to stay
non-perishable, food you already eat
for each person who takes them
food and extra water: ask your vet how much
When the lights go out
Know what a CPAP, a fridge and a phone need before you buy the battery.
List the things that must stay on. Stormbook adds up the watt-hours per day, the battery size that covers them, and the running watts a generator must carry. Presets are typical figures; the label on your device wins.
