Emergency Kit for the family...
During a disaster, most public services will be unavailable. So, be sure to make an emergency supply kit and keep it stored in an easily accessible location.
Include these things:
3 days of food for the whole family
3 gallons of water per person per day for at least 3 days.
Extra water for animals.
Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio.
Flashlights with extra batteries.
A well-stocked first aid kit.
Have extra clothing, toiletries, and bedding available.
In addition, have any tools you may need including duct tape and tarps.
If you have propane tanks, keep at least one full at all times.
You should also consider keeping prescription medications and important family documents such as insurance policies and identification in a small, readily accessible and portable safe in your house.
**In a disaster, basic services like gas stations will likely be out of commission. So always keep your gas tank at least half filled.
Also, keep a smaller version of your emergency supply kit in your car. This should include food, water, emergency blankets, and first aid supplies.
Make sure you get informed on the different types of emergencies that may affect your area and learn the appropriate way to respond to them. Disasters are frightening situations. But, having these emergency essentials will help you make it through.
