These are notes I took from a preparedness fair. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

– Put an emergency kit in the plastic tub.
– Secure the kits.
– Every member of the household should have their own emergency kit.
– Include toys and crayons.
– Word search, cards, and music.
– Have a kit for your pet.
– Maybe have 3 mins to leave.
– Make a list in advance, because your mind will go blank in a sudden emergency
– Grab purse, go to the medicine cabinet,
– Get temperature bags from the dollar store to put food backs. 4-6, works better than a cooler. Emergency people to take them to shelter. Buy these a dollar tree.
– Have 5-gallon jugs for water
– Instead of buy two and of food buy four
– Buy on sale in quantity at case lot sale. Make sure you rotate.
– Have a grab and go kit.
– Have a whistle on the purse and have a baby diaper bag refilled always. Keep it by the crib.
– Have a set place for the things that are important.
– Put initials on backpacks and diaper bags.
– Some have a whistle in all areas of the house or garage. People on walkers should have a whistle.
– Bye whistles in bulk
– Have the basics and your personal needs.
– Add more bandages and safety pins.
– Being prepared also means being organized
– Put kits under beds with their own names on it. Front closest store them where you remember where you think.
– Put liquid items in Ziploc
– Have a folding shovel.
– Bungee cords to keep cans on shelves.
– Earthquake putty. Quake hold> jell.
– Bereadyutah.gov is a good website.
– All types of hardware at lows to lock pictures to keep secure.
