Step 3: Organize Disaster Supplies
Everyone should have emergency suplies stored at home and a grab and go bag ready.
Emergency Supplies for Home
Having emergency supplies in your home, workplace or car will make the difference in your health and comfort if you are isolated for days or weeks. Every household member needs a Grab and Go Bag with essential items for quick evacuation.
Store disaster supplies in a place you can access even if your home is damaged. CONSIDER "Special Provisions" you need for you and your family including elderly, disabled, small children, and pets. MAINTAIN Your Kit: Replace expired items. Review your needs every year and update your kit as your family’s needs change.
NO CABINET? Large trash cans are an inexpensive option for storing emergency supplies.
Safely store supplies for outdoor cooking such as grill, stove, propane tank.
