What should you have in your disaster supply kit?

It depends on a lot of things, but the Weather Channel has a list that you can start with.  The good news is you probably already have most of these items in your home, they key is to assemble them into kits that can be used in emergencies.  We will cover how to kit your gear in future posts, for now make sure you have the essentials.  If you don’t, make a list of what you are missing and shop for them.  Remember the concept of “Two is One, One is None” to ensure redundancy and you will be well on your way to assembling a useful disaster supply kit.

Cars break down, often times at the wrong place at the wrong time.  It will happen, the only question is when.

How does one prepare for this?

Nationwide Insurance has a fairly helpful page on what you should have in your car and what you should do when you experience a break-down.  We’ll cover more details on what should be in your car kit in future posts but the Nationwide page is a good starting point.  You will want to fine-tune your car emergency kit based upon where you live and other factors, the key concept though is to learn principles that you can apply in your preparations.  So take some time and put together your car’s emergency kit today.  It doesn’t have to be complete, the main idea is to get started and add to it over time.
