UCO Candle Lanterns Light Your Home Port In Any Storm
 There's only one good time to deal with a home emergency. That's
before the emergency happens.
You never know when:
- A power line will be cut by the back hoe operator down
the street or a tree will fall across a carrier wire.
- High winds, heavy rains, a snow storm, hurricane or flooding
threaten to take out your community's electrical delivery.
- A summer power overload causes a blackout lasting several hours
or even days.
Experts say that the disaster you prepare for won't happen to you.
The process of planning and preparing for a natural disaster or
a civil emergency makes you prepared to deal with the consequences
and safeguard the safety of those around you.
 Today's
newspapers are chuck full of frightening headlines. While we can't
eliminate the possibility of those awful nightmares occurring, we
can prepare wisely. Store food, water, soap and toilet paper to
last for a few days time. Plan how to stay warm, and
have the necessary light sources available for extended periods
(long after batteries are exhausted). A UCO Candle Lantern
and spare 9-hour candles offer you that reliable assurance as a dependable
and economical source of light and warmth.
