EMERGENCY KITS

The focus this month is on "Emergency Kits".  There are many options and many ways to customize kits to fit you and your family's needs. 

By creating your own kits, not only can you save money, you will have a kit specific to each person in your family and not a "one size fits all" arrangement of items.  Be sure to change out food and clothing at least once a year if not every 6 months.  Kids grow (as do adults, to be honest)  My 35 year old son will no longer fit in his 4T sweat suit from his original emergency kit.  He has his own current kit now, phew!

We recommend to have a kit for each family member and a larger "family kit" with shelter, cooking supplies, heat, light and sanitation, as well as a larger more complete first aid kit.

There are many lists and helps found here on the BLOG under Emergency Prep >Emergency Kits  Check it out for ideas, getting started, updating, etc. of your emergency preparedness kits.
