Frost King FC1 Outdoor Foam Faucet Cover
A reusable oval foam cover for outdoor hose bibs: 5/8-inch expanded polystyrene shell, foam gasket, and a rubber ring that cinches to the faucet. Before a hard freeze, disconnect hoses, drain the bib if you can, then slip the cover on snug against the wall — cheap insurance against a cracked outdoor faucet.
Mr. Heater Portable Buddy (MH9BX)
An indoor-rated propane heater (4,000 or 9,000 BTU) for keeping one room livable during a winter outage. It has tip-over and low-oxygen shutoff, but it still burns fuel: crack a window, keep a battery CO alarm nearby, and don’t run it while everyone’s asleep. Never use a generator or grill indoors.
Kidde Battery CO Alarm
A battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm that keeps working when the grid drops, which is exactly when generators, grills, and space heaters come out. Sits on a shelf or mounts on a wall, with a loud alarm and peak-level memory. Put one on each level and near bedrooms.

AcuRite 02020 Portable Lightning Detector
A clip-on lightning detector that picks up strikes out to about 25 miles and shows a rough distance, with a light and alarm when a storm moves in. Handy for spotters, ballfields, and hikes when you’re away from radar. Treat it as an early heads-up, not a replacement for official warnings.

A pocket straw filter for drinking from a bottle or clear outdoor source when tap water is questionable after storms. Pair with stored water; it does not replace a boil-water advisory plan.
