We are expecting another winter storm later today and the prepping issue is front and center once again. This time it has to do with something as simple as getting the gas company to fill a propane tank. You would think that being prepared would relate to making sure everything was in order in the event of disruptions. This is true but it doesn't take into account that your actual suppliers would be part of the problem. A family member is experiencing the "Catch 22" from her LP gas supplier where the company policy is they won't even accept a delivery request until your tank is at 30%. Then, the delivery is set anywhere between 7 and 14 days out. Which, by that time, a 120 gallon tank (which is relatively small) could potentially run out of gas before the delivery arrives. Especially in cold weather. After about 3 hours of being on hold, arm twisting and stories of temperatures reaching into the single digits and young children being "at risk" for freezing to death, they relented and moved the delivery date forward.

Meanwhile, we devised a couple of back-up plans to aid in the preparedness in the event of a "slow to respond" supplier.
