This Weeks List:
2 Large Cans Juice*
Large Plastic Food Bags
2 Boxes High-Energy Snacks
3 Rolls Paper Towels

Things To Do:
Keep extra battery for cell phone or change for pay phone usage and make sure these items are with your survival supplies.
Locate several pay phones that are near your home.

Tidbits:
I have taken the maps purchased during Week 3 and marked pay phone locations as well as public buildings (i.e. churches etc) that have accessible landline telephones.

A wise man once encouraged me to ensure that I have a traditional phone..at least one, somewhere in my home. In the digital age we live in, so many of us have portable handsets. In cases where the power is out, those handsets will not work, where a traditional 'plug-in-the-wall' phone will continue to work if telephone service has not been interrupted.

Also..something to think about....There is also the possibility that ones cell phone could stop working in the event of a widespread power outage. Depending on the circumstances, local landlines will continue to function. Yet another reason to either have a traditional phone line, an idea of where you can locate one.
