ASSEMBLE A DISASTER SUPPLIES KIT

In the event you need to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you, you probably will not have the opportunity to shop or search for the supplies you and your family will need. Every household should assemble a disaster supplies kit and keep it up to date. A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items a family would probably need to stay safe and be more comfortable during and after a disaster. Disaster supplies kit items should be stored in a portable container(s) as close as possible to the exit door. Review the contents of your kit at least once per year or as your family needs change.
Also, consider having emergency supplies in each vehicle and at your place of employment:
  1. Three-day supply of nonperishable food and manual can opener. View
  2. Three-day supply of water (one gallon of water per person, per day).
  3. Portable, battery-powered radio or television and extra batteries.
  4. Flashlight and extra batteries.
  5. Lantern for long term use.
  6. First aid kit and manual.
  7. Sanitation and hygiene items (hand sanitizer, moist towelettes, and toilet paper). 
  8. Matches in waterproof container.
