These days, severe weather, aging infrastructure, and peak demands have led to increased concerns about power outages…sometimes, blackouts that last for days. That means we all should prepare for potential power outages, possibly lasting at least a week. The good news is that prepping for a power outage doesn’t have to break your budget.

This quick power outage prep video will give you ideas to help protect yourself and your family against blackouts if your budget is $100, $1000, or $10K!

Remember to visit our video channel: Kat Monet’s Doom Scrolls!

Here’s the rest of the video’s description:

We’ve got practical prepping tips, real climate science explained, and plenty of community support.

I’ve lived through multiple week-long blackouts—no power, no AC, and definitely no fridge. Each time, I learned something new about surviving comfortably… or at least semi-comfortably… depending on how much I could spend.

In this video, I’ll walk you through basic power outage preparedness for a 7-day power outage with three very different budgets:
💸 $100 — Bare-bones survival
💰 $1,000 — Practical comfort
💼 $10,000+ — Grid-down luxury?

Whether you’re broke, building your first emergency prep kit, or going all in, this real-world guide shows what matters most when the lights go out. No bunkers. No fear-mongering. Just solid advice with a little cartoon flair.
