72 Hour Survival Kit
I recently found this information on disaster preparedness and thought it would be prudent to pass along. As much as we hope a natural disaster does not happen it is important to take the time to be prepared, just in case! Here is WisdomTips.com's suggestions for what to include in a 72 hour survival kit.
1. Flashlight and spare batteries, or one of the crank flashlights.
2. Radio and batteries or one of the crank type radios.
3. First aid kit.
4. Candles and waterproof matches or a lighter.
5. Extra car keys and cash including coins for pay phones as the debit machines might not work, and make sure you have your cell phone and your charger for the car.
6. Important papers identification for everyone, and personal documents.
7. Food and bottled water for everyone in the family at least 3 days worth.
8. Disposable plates, knives, forks, spoons, cups, and garbage bags.
9. Fuel stove such as a Coleman stove for cooking.
10. Clothing and footwear one change per person for 3 days.
11. Blankets and sleeping bags for each person.
12. Toilet paper, diapers and personal needs for each person.
13. Medication, (and what it is for) eyeglasses, list of prescriptions, and doctors name and phone number.
14. Pet supplies for your pets and their recent vaccination records.
15. Playing cards, games, and toys to occupy your time.
16. Get a large plastic tote label it Emergency Kit put a sticker on it as to the date when the food, water, medications, and the pet food was put in so that there is no out of date things in your kit.
Have at least 4 liters of water per person per day and 3 liters per pet.
Food for the kit should be, canned meats, soups, stews, beans, vegetables, fruits, honey, peanut butter, jams, and canned milk. The dry food should be crackers, biscuits, cookies, instant coffee, tea bags, sugar, salt, pepper, and powdered milk.
