SURVIVAL GOODS
Survival preparation doesn't end with food and water storage. You will also need a 72-hour kit for every member of your family or group with enough food and water and emergency medical supplies to see everyone through a three day period--enough to reach your chosen destination.
TIP: If you carpool or use public transportation to get to work, consider keeping your 72-hour kit at the office. Otherwise, it should be stored in your vehicle for easy access. Leaving 72-hour kits tucked "safely" away in a basement will do you no good should an emergency strike while you're away from home! Check with your child's school or daycare to see what their emergency plan is. If possible, designate a trusted friend or family member to pick up your child in an emergency situation, should you be unable to travel. There are detailed work-arounds and possible scenarios found in Survival Diva that can be ordered as an E-Book download, or you can download a sample chapter and table of contents by clicking the navigation "Sneak A Peek" button at the top of the screen.
