Emergency Supply Kit

The American Red Cross recommends that each household have a few week's worth of emergency supplies in the event of a natural disaster. Those supplies include water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, a first aid kit, a cellphone or other communication device with extra battery supplies, copies of personal documents like birth certificates and social security cards and extra cash. 

In the event of a natural disaster, each household should have one gallon of purified water, per person, per day, stored. It's recommended that each family have two weeks worth of water at the minimum. For a family of four, that equates to 56 gallons of water. — 1 of 10
