What to put in my disaster preparation kit

by Adalson, May 27, 2009 11:10AM
My friend is part of this group that stresses disaster preparedness.  After he talked to me about it, I realized I’m really not prepared at all.  

I’ve decided to get supplies that would be helpful in the case of a natural disaster, or in the event of a terrorist attack or something similar. I know I should purchase canned food, bottled water, blankets, flashlights, first aid kit, etc. What are some other things I should include that I might be missing?

I work as a volunteer in emergency management in my city as an Amateur Radio operator. We do a lot of emergency training and preparation at times. Having a disaster kit is always a good idea.

Some things I have done is to ensure there is a kit in each of my vehicles. A 1-3 day kit is usually good. I also have a large kit for my family at my home that will last for 2 weeks for a family of 5. Also each of my kids have a single kit that they have in their backpacks when they go out. These are pretty small but have the essentials in them.

There are so many ways to make a kit and you can do so without emptying your piggy bank. "Ready.gov" is a great place for you to start looking I think.
