When preparing for an impending disaster, it’s easy to overlook everyday tasks like doing laundry.

But washing machines won’t work during power outages, and wearing fresh socks and underwear every day becomes even more important when limited water supplies mean rare opportunities to bathe.

Also, make certain to have at least one pair of good, sturdy shoes – if a natural disaster leaves the ground littered with debris, wearing sandals that offer only minimal protection for your feet is a bad idea.
