How to Prepare for a Natural Disaster
Think of how much you depend on your utilities – water, electricity, gas – to sustain yourself at home daily. What if something took those away? Would you be able to keep yourself (or your family) alive?
The simple solution to a problem like this is an emergency kit for your home. If you live in an area that is prone to natural disasters – hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, flooding – then you need to consider putting one together.
These packs should include similar items to a standard emergency pack. Food, water, and means of shelter or warmth.
