Emergency Preparedness At Home
This list is not an exhaustive list by any means, but is intended to provide you with the basic supplies you would need in case of an emergency. It’s important to have emergency preparedness at home because you never know when our nation will go into a state of emergency. It’s good to already have your personal and family needs available at hand and not have to rush out to the store at the last second.
Wise people see trouble coming and get out of its way, but fools go straight to the trouble and suffer for it.
Have plenty of everything listed here to ensure that your supply will not run out within days or weeks. You should have enough food and supplies to last at least 6 months to one year or longer. You can always check your local grocery store for specials on many of these emergency items from food and water, to health products and cleaning supplies.
