All families should have a disaster supplies kit. Disasters can happen without warning giving us no time to gather the supplies we may need in order to survive. It's important to prepare now and gather enough supplies for three days for each person in your family. Below are the American Red Cross recommendations for a disaster supplies kit.
Collect the items and below and store in a sturdy airtight disaster supply kit container.

First Aid Kit
Have one kit for your home and one your car. There are many pre-made kits available but these kits can be expensive. It would be more cost effective to build your own kits and place them in a good sturdy bag. Below is a list for building your own kit.
