List of Items You Should Have in an Emergency


Greetings!

Many people don't realize the important aspect of pre-planning for an emergency. When things are going well, planning takes a back seat in our daily routines
It would be a good idea to get a carry bag and load it with any of the items on the list below. Some items may not be needed but at least you can see what could be needed that you didn't think about

This kit will be a bit of overkill if you are remaining in place but in the event you have to relocate (tornado, hurricane ECT) you will have what you need in one easy to grab bag so you can vacate. Just be sure you don't make it too large or heavy to carry with you.

This list is not "all inclusive" but will be a starting point and get you to thinking of individual needs

More list categories will be added later

All the items listed are either minimal cost or you already have them.

.Durable clothes, two sets
