June is National Safety Month, and while we’re not trying to alarm anyone, we are all about being just a little more prepared. Whether it’s knowing where the flashlight is during a power outage or having your important documents in one place, a few small steps can make a big difference—especially when it comes to keeping your home and your family safe.
At The Nokbox, we believe that emergency preparedness, estate planning, and home organization are all part of the same conversation. It’s all about peace of mind. So, we’ve gathered a few of our favorite tools and tips to help you feel a little more ready—without the overwhelm.
1. Let’s Talk About Fire Safety (But Make It Easy)
If the idea of pulling a pin on a fire extinguisher gives you pause, you’re not alone. That’s why we love the Prepared Hero Fire Blanket. It’s compact, non-toxic, and doesn’t require any training. You just pull it out, cover the flames, and that’s it.
Whether it’s a grease fire on the stove or a candle left burning a little too long, this is one of those "why didn’t I already have this?" products. We recommend keeping one in the kitchen, one in the laundry room, and one near any space heaters or fireplaces. Think of it as the grown-up version of a superhero cape—only this one actually saves the day.

2. Prevent Fires Before They Start with Ting
Meet Ting—a small plug-in device that helps detect electrical issues before they become dangerous. It monitors your home’s wiring and alerts you to hidden hazards like overheating outlets or faulty circuits. Ting is used by major insurance companies and gives you 24/7 protection for something most of us never think to check.
We love it because it’s proactive. And so is The Nokbox.
3. Emergency Contact Info: Don’t Leave It to Memory
Do you know your adult children’s phone numbers by heart? What about your doctor’s office or utility company? In a power outage or emergency, it’s not always easy to scroll through your phone—or your memory.
That’s where your Nokbox comes in. It's the perfect place to keep a printed emergency contact sheet, copies of your ID, a medication list, and even home insurance info. That way, if someone needs to step in, they have everything they need, right where it should be.
4. The “Just in Case” Drawer, Upgraded
Everyone has one—that random drawer filled with half-used batteries and who-knows-what. Let’s give that drawer a glow-up.
This month, try creating a dedicated emergency drawer or shelf with:
-
A flashlight and extra batteries
-
First aid supplies
-
Extra phone charger
-
A fire blanket
-
Bottled water and snacks (just a few—this isn’t doomsday prep)
The goal isn’t perfection. It’s simply having a few basics on hand, just in case.
5. When Life Happens, Be Ready
We know it can feel overwhelming to think about worst-case scenarios, but planning doesn’t have to be scary. It can be empowering.
When you use The Nokbox to get your estate planning and emergency documents organized, you're not just checking something off your to-do list. You're protecting your family. You’re giving them clarity, confidence, and calm—when they need it most.
And that’s what National Safety Month is really about: a little planning today for a lot of peace of mind tomorrow.
