Get a Kit
When preparing for a possible emergency
situation, it's best to think first about the basics of survival:
fresh water, food, clean air and warmth. Assemble these in a kit to
have on hand in case disaster strikes in your community. When you
have created a kit for you and your household, see if any of your
neighbors need help assembling their kits.
Download the list of recommended items so that you can use it as a
checklist as you put together your kit. Be sure to use a
water-tight container to store the items for your kit so that they
will be easily transportable and will keep longer. Also,
remember to check your kit once a year to replace outdated food,
water, or prescriptions, and check batteries in radios and
flashlights.
Once you have put your kit together, consider putting another kit
together for a household that might not be able to afford all of the
necessary items. Or consider doing a "ReadyKit" drive at your
church or in your neighborhood, to help make sure that everyone is
ready.
