Secure Your Home in a Long Blackout
Stay low-profile, harden entry points and organize with neighbors.

- 01
Light discipline
Blackout curtains at night so your home doesn't stand out as the one with power.
- 02
Harden doors
3-inch screws in strike plates and a door bar stop most forced entry.
- 03
Don't advertise supplies
Keep stockpiles and generators out of view; run generators in a muffled enclosure outdoors.
- 04
Build community
Organize neighbors for watches, skill-sharing and mutual aid. Groups survive better than lone households.
