Having a plan is only half of the preparation necessary to protect yourself and your family when an emergency occurs - because once an emergency happens, you will not have time to shop or search for the supplies you need. Thats why its important to have an emergency readiness kit already prepared and easily accessible. Following are the items you need for a comprehensive emergency kit:
Water
Food
First-aid kit
Non-prescription drugs
Tools and
supplies
Sanitation
Clothing
and bedding
Special
items for babies and adults
