Be Red Cross Ready    

1 Get a Kit

Have at least three days of supplies in an easy-to-carry evactuation kit, with additional supplies on hand. Remember to check your kit and replace the stock every six months.

An easy way to get your kit started is to purchase one through your local Red Cross.  If you purchase a kit or choose to build your own, check that it includes the following:

Water Food First Aid Kit Medications Radio Tools Clothing

Personal Items Sanitary Supplies Money Contact Information Pet Supplies Map

2 Make a Plan

Learn what disasters or emergencies may occur where you live, work and play. Identify how local authorities will notify you during a disaster. Learn what you can do to prepare for disasters. Share what you have learned with your family, house and neighbors
