How Prepared Are You Really?

As the severe weather season is upon us, it’s a good time to take stock and restock emergency supplies; especially in the event of a power outage or the inability to leave your house or shelter. Do you have an emergency plan in place? Do you have enough water and supplies to sustain you for 3 days? How about 7 days? Or 14 days?

If after taking inventory you find that your emergency preparedness is low, check out Lehman’s General Store to get the necessary items you need for your peace of mind.
