Security Tip Saturday

What would your family do if there was an emergency?  Do you have drinking water, extra non-perishable food, batteries, etc.?  And if you have these things, do you know where they are?  I'm sure this week when Isaac hit down south, the majority of those affected did not have a kit. 

For the next 20 weeks, TWIT will be bringing you 20 Weeks To Preparedness.  Every Saturday, I will give you a list based on the recommendations of the Department of Homeland Security so you can put together an emergency supply kit.  If you buy the items listed each week, at the end of the 20 weeks you'll have a fully-stocked emergency supply kit for your family.  Depending on the size of your family, you can tweak the quantities. The items should be kept in a plastic garbage can or similar container, and the container should be kept in a place where everyone in the family knows where it is.

1 gallon water
