Default Preparing for Power Outages?

Yes it does. We live in a mobile home park, "God's Waitingroom"

Why fill the bathtub? Does a power failure cause your water to quit?

We usually fill the bath tub with cold water. Nearby for flushing. Handy
for cooking if you have a gas stove. I have one kerosene lamp.
Flashlights and batteries for a small portable radio.
I ususally light the oven and place a pot of water on top.. Stay out of
the freezer if possible. Know what you need from the fridge before
opening the door. Five years in AK will teach you all these things.
