Sorry this is so late!

52 WEEKS TO FAMILY PREPAREDNESS FOR TWO

WEEK #16
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. Substitute where appropriate depending on personal needs/requirements.


Food Storage   30 lbs of wheat or flour
 
Extra Item   10-20 boxes of macaroni and cheese

72 Hour Kit   A suitable container for your car kit. For example, an airline size carry-on bag, backpack or sturdy box with a lid that latches. This will keep your kit items from moving around in your trunk, the back of your SUV or the back seat area of your truck.

Family prep  If your family uses a wood stove remember to check it out periodically and clean it out. When cleaning the wood stove, use a metal bucket (not plastic) to remove ashes. Place the bucket outside on dirt or cement, away from the house (not on the porch).

Family Prep  Learn how yourself, and teach all family members how to turn off the natural gas or propane in case of an emergency (gas leak, earthquake, house fire, or other problems). If a wrench or other tool is required, keep one inside the house near a door and don't use it for anything else!
