Emergency Preparedness: Prepare a disaster supplies kit now
Not all emergencies provide a warning like a hurricane. Events such as a wildfire or a chemical leak could require you to evacuate your home immediately. Preparing a disaster supplies kit now will save precious time and ensure no essentials are forgotten. Gather enough supplies to meet your needs for at least three days and store them in sturdy, water resistant containers that are easy to carry. Your kit should include:
- Water for drinking and sanitation, at least a gallon per person per day
- Non-perishable foods, such as canned items, and a can opener
- A flashlight and radio (hand crank radio if possible, otherwise bring extra batteries)
- A first aid kit and local maps
- Copies of important documents such as birth certificates, social security cards and insurance policies (original documents should be secured in a locked box or safety deposit box).
It’s also a good idea to keep a smaller kit in the trunk of your car. For more information, including other suggestions for items to include, please follow this link: http://www.ready.gov/america/getakit/index.html
