Life is full of surprises, some good and some not so good.  Disaster can strike any time without warning.  A little preparation can make a big difference in the way you and your family survive these disasters.  It might be a flood or an earthquake, a fire or a hurricane, or it might be the loss of your job or an illness or injury that leaves you unable to provide for yourself and your family.   Take some time to check out our affiliate sites.  They have some great ideas for preparing yourself for the emergencies and disasters of life.  Also, take the time to sit down with your family and make an emergency plan.  The 12 point plan presented on this page can be a great help to you.  After you make your plan, be sure you work your plan.  The peace that will come from being prepared is well worth any time and effort you put into it.

Assemble and maintain a portable 72-hour emergency kit containing items designed to support each individual with vital health and personal comfort essentials for two or three days away from home.  Of the two most likely responses to a wide range of emergencies, the possibility of evacuation should drive this effort. Keep your personal kit simple, light weight and easy  to update according to seasonal and other variables.  Any of a long list of possible carrying options may prove practical, including a compact back pack which leaves hands free.  Of primary importance is a flashlight and battery operated radio together with fresh back-up batteries for each.  Other important items often overlooked might include essential medications, some cash money (plastic might not work) and a list of key contact information.  Position your kit(s) with quick access in mind.
