  • Lighting Without Power
    Lighting Without Power Kerosene and oil lamps are another option prone to accidents. The flame is contained within the lantern so it's a little safer than a candle's open flame, and the amount of light provided is better than a single candle. On the other hand, kerosene and lamp oil are highly poisonous, must be stored out of the reach of children, tend to get very hot, and need to be stored away from accidental ignition sources. [We store ours in an insulated and latched picnic cooler, which helps protect them from ignition sources and contains any mess if they are broken in an earthquake.] Propane lamps are another option, but like other liquid fuel lamps, are not recommended for indoor use because of the risk of carbon monoxide build-up. They also need a good reserve of fuel if they are your choice for an emergency. LED battery-operated lanterns or flashlights are the safest choices for emergencies. Flashlights are better for finding your way around in the dark, while battery-operated lanterns are best for ambient room light. The best models have both options built into one light. There are expensive models, but there are also very reasonable models if budget is an issue. Headlamps are a great way to be able to provide focused, hands-free task lighting. Most people don't have these, but this is probably the best bed-side emergency lighting you can have. That way, if a fire, earthquake or tornado happens, you have two free hands to crawl, move debris, administer first aid, or pick up your child as needed.
