52 WEEKS TO PREPAREDNESS - Week 8

52 WEEKS TO FAMILY PREPAREDNESS FOR TWO

WEEK #8

Follow this for painless preparedness that will get you going on the path to being ready for catastrophic events and that, at the end of the year, will leave you in the best position to thrive in the event of any emergency.

You can do this! The cost is spread out over a full year, plus you will have a year to work out your storage.

Food Storage 30 lbs of wheat
Extra Item 30 lbs of beans

72 Hour Kit Personal Hygiene Kit
Travel size shampoo, bar soap, chapstick, lotion, razor, nail clippers, comb, brush, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, handy wipes, hand sanitizer, 1 roll of toilet paper, small package of tissues, feminine items. You can put a kit together easily or buy them at Amazon.com (e.g. 73 Piece Personal Hygiene and First Aid Kit for under $30) or look in camping/hunting stores.

Family Prep Provide a safer alternative heat source for your home. This could be your fireplace or wood stove or a propane or kerosene space heater. A year’s supply of fuel is preferable but for emergency purposes two weeks supply would be acceptable. Any time an alternative heating system is operating, have at least on carbon monoxide detector in use and ventilation must be provided to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
