To “Be Ready for Anything ” keep a Emergency Supply Kit ready to go in the following locations:
At home: Follow the supply checklist guidelines on this site and keep this kit in an easily accessible area in your home like the garage or back entryway in your home. Be sure all family members know where it is kept and REMEMBER to have a supply kit and transportation carriers ready to go for your pets as well!
At Work: Keep a basic kit with food & water, first aid kits, and emergency essentials in a container you can grab n’ go with in a hurry like a backpack. Have a pair of tennis shoes (comfortable walking shoes) stashed at work and in your car as well in case you have to walk long distances.
In your Car: Keep the basics such as food & water, first aid supplies, and add flares, jumper cables, cell phone charger, area maps, and consider a “multi-tasker tool” such as one that is a flashlight and radio combo that runs on solar, battery and crank operation for extended use. You can also provide a small fanny pack or “grab n go” kit to your children to keep in their school lockers for extra peace of mind.
