On April 28, several areas of Portugal were struck by a sudden blackout that left thousands of people without electricity. Moments like these remind us of the importance of always being prepared for unforeseen situations, whether at home, in the car or even at work.

One of the best ways to ensure safety and comfort during power outages is to set up a Emergency Kit. And the good news is that many of the essential products can be found at Alrossio, with fast shipping and affordable prices.

What should an Emergency Kit contain?

A well-prepared kit can make all the difference. Here are some of the key items you can find in our store:

1. Rechargeable flashlights

The lack of light is the first challenge in a blackout. Therefore, having reliable and rechargeable flashlights is essential:

2. Power Banks (Portable Chargers)

Keeping your cell phone on can be vital, whether to communicate or access information. A power bank guarantees this autonomy:

3. Battery-operated radios

In prolonged emergencies, battery-powered radios are one of the best ways to stay informed, even without internet or electricity:

4. Stacks

It seems obvious, but many forget about batteries to power flashlights and radios. Having a spare set can save the day.

5. Basic cell phones

In an extreme scenario, a basic phone (with battery life for several days) may be more useful than a smartphone. At Alrossio, there are affordable and effective options for calls and SMS.

Other recommended items:

  • Candles and matches

  • Water Bottles

  • Small first aid kit

  • Solar or manual charger

  • Printed list with emergency contacts
