PERSONAL PREPAREDNESS

Building your preparedness kit?  

Check out Ready.gov for a list of items every basic disaster supplies kit should contain.

The American Red Cross also a good list of suggested supplies.

Emergency Supplies

Go Bag, Bug Out Bag, 72 Hour Comfort Kit... no matter what you call it, everyone should have a portable cache of supplies ready to take with them in case of unexpected evacuation.  CERT Instructor Jen has typed up a list of the contents of her Go Bag.  Jen's list is by no means exhaustive.  There are also a lot of resources on the internet; we like Ready.gov's Make a Plan page: https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan.
