In the event of an emergency, it's important to have a 72-hour kit on hand.

This kit should contain enough food, water, and supplies to last you and your family for three days. With a little advance planning, you can easily assemble a 72-hour kit in less than 72 hours. Here's how:


1. Choose a designated spot in your home to store your 72-hour kit. A closet or under the bed are both good options.


2. Assemble the following items and put them in your designated spot:
- 3 days' worth of non-perishable food and water
- A first-aid kit
- A flashlight
- Extra batteries
- A portable radio


3. Once you have all of the above items, you're ready for anything! Well, almost anything. It's also a good idea to have a plan in place for where you will go and what you will do if you need to evacuate your home. Make sure everyone in your family is aware of the plan and knows where to find the 72-hour kit.


A well-stocked 72-hour kit can mean the difference between weathering an emergency situation and being completely unprepared. By taking the time to assemble a kit now, you can ensure that you and your family will be safe and comfortable in the event of an emergency.
