Putting Together a Family Disaster Kit

September is National Preparedness Month. 

When disaster strikes, there is usually little time to assemble the items you need. This is why you should put together a family disaster kit.  Items you may need in your disaster kit will vary in different areas; however, you will want to include the following:
1.) A three-day supply of nonperishable food and water (one gallon per day per person)
2.) A change of clothing and footwear per person
3.) One blanket or sleeping bag per person
4.) A first-aid kit, including prescription medicines in original containers
5.) Emergency tools
6.) A battery-powered radio with extra batteries
7.) A flashlight with extra batteries
8.) An extra set of car keys
9.) A credit card or cash
10.) Special items needed for infants, the elderly or disabled members of your family
11.) Rubber gloves
12.) Any perscription medication
13.) Sanitation supplies

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the 
shadow of your wings I will take refuge, until the destroying storms pass by. Psalm 57:1
