Maintenance Task: Rotate supplies of batteries, water and food |
|||
| How do you rotate emergency supplies of batteries, water and food? | ||||
|
|
You should keep emergency supplies in a location that you can readily find them in an emergency. Example places include in a designated box or shelf in a closet. Emergency supplies that you should consider keeping in this box or shelf include: batteries, jugs of water, and canned food. |
|||
| Why is it important to rotate emergency supplies of batteries, water and food? | ||||
|
|
These items are perishable, and should be replaced from time to time to ensure that you have fresh supplies. |
|||

| These supplies should be replaced twice a year, once in September before bad winter weather, and then again in March. | ||||
