• First Aid Kit (Band-aids, antibacterials, bandages, prescription drugs)
• Canned food and a can opener (Soups, vegetables, fruits, and meats -- nothing that will spoil without refrigeration.)
• At least three gallons of water per person.
• Protective clothing, rainwear, and bedding or sleeping bags.
• Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.
• Special items for infants, elderly, or disabled members of your family.
• Written instructions on how to turn off the electricity, gas and water if authorities advise you to do so.

Take a few minutes and make sure that you have all the items in a safe waterproof container in your home. We hope that you will never have to use it, but if you do you will be glad that you took the time to be prepared!
