Things to Have on Hand in Case of Emergency

by | May 11, 2018 | Features

 

Creating various survival kits for emergency purposes is a great way to ensure that you are prepared in case any disaster were to strike. When making meal kits acquire food that is non-perishable that can last you a minimum of three days. As for water, the American Red Cross also recommends enough for about a three-day time period, but if you can store more for extensive periods, that’s even better. Staying one step ahead of disasters can give you the reassurance that you and your loved ones will be prepared for the short-term if any disaster strikes.

Key Takeaways:

  • It is important to keep enough non-perishable items for at least a three-day time span.
  • The American Red Cross has released a statement that a three-day water supply is also recommended.
  • If you have pets at home, building an emergency kit for them as well is also a good idea.

“An emergency situation can throw a wrench in your routine, but with a little advance planning, you and your family may be better prepared to face an unexpected situation.”
