  2. Light without Electricity

First, Read the Information You Need:

Without electricity, most people think flashlights or candles as possible light sources.

Be careful of candles or anything that uses open flame. It’s a fire hazard and if you are burning gas, the chemicals from the burnt gas could turn deadly in an enclosed room. It’s the biggest reason why you should NOT use your gas stove top as a constant source of heat and light during a power outage. Gas should really only be used in well ventilated spaces, usually outdoors.

Here is a list of where you can get power for light, including flashlights.

  • Gas Generators
  • Solar Powered Generators
  • Flashlights! Lots of different kinds: Battery operated, Kinetic, and Solar
  • Glow Sticks
