Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing-L Digest, Vol 254, Issue 16

[Jack & Carolyn Salmon (2salmon]

Quimper Village has a generator to keep some lights and the refrigerator in the 
Common House functioning  in the event of an emergency.  
We have a propane tank for fueling the artificial logs in the CH fireplace for 
heat and CH cooktop.  We have a 2000 gal tank of drinking water in a covered 
outdoor space.  We also have emergency lights.  

We do not keep community emergency food supplies.   We anticipate that by 
pooling food supplies from members’ home we could all eat well for several 
days.  

Members are encouraged to keep their own water supplies and emergency food.   I 
keep mine in my garage.  I also have an emergency bag with food, water, 
clothing and meds in my car.
