BE PREPARED for a Hurricane, Blizzard, Tornado, Earthquake, Blackout, Flood, Drought, Wildfire or other natural disaster. Preparedness starts with having a plan. Part of the plan is having a kit ready in case you need to shelter in place, or evacuate to safety. Ready.gov, Red Cross, FEMA, Department of Homeland Security, and Office of Emergency Management all agree on having plans of sheltering in place, and evacuation. All plans include kits that will keep you safe, healthy, and comfortable for at least 72 hours.

If you've ever wondered: "what should i stock up on now?" ... "How do i make a go bag / bug out bag / get home bag?" ... "What is an emergency preparedness kit?" ...

Food, water, clothes, blankets, toiletries, medication, first aid supplies, phones, chargers, maps, and important documents are all parts of the kit that you need. If you will be sheltering in place, you will need food and water, flashlights and batteries, radio, and more. If you will be forced to evacuate or "bug out" you will need items that are a cross between a weekend of travel, and weekend camping trip. Emergency Preparedness, Disaster Preparedness, and "prepping in general" are all about planning ahead of time, so that in a moment of chaos, you will be able to use your kit, instead of trying to remember what items to look for.

The most common of all natural disasters, catastrophes, and even most simple inconveniences is a BLACKOUT. Having a Blackout kit, would cover most of your bases. However, you need to consider the weather, climate, and season as well. There are a variety of ways to prepare to keep you and your family safe, healthy and comfortable during any of these disasters. Home defense, should be part of your plan as well. If you need to relocate, evacuate, or bug out, self defense should be part of your plan too.

In this video, Kyoshi Dave Herman of Five Elements Tactical Training, shares with you the items recommended by Ready.gov to include in your emergency preparedness / disaster preparedness kit, to last you and your family 72 hours.
