Emergency Preparedness

This month we are asking each of you to join us and gather up our 72 hour kits by the end of the year. If you want to work ahead, by all means, go for it(here's a GREAT resource)! If you'd prefer to just buy a kit, there are several ways to do this (here's a link that I found of just one site).
For this month we are asking everyone to gather up their 2 week supply of water. You can survive for quite a while without food, but without water, you're done for! Lots of great links & ideas will be posted in the next few weeks.
Also, an idea we came across A LOT was for an emergency binder. In that worst case scenario, fire, flood, tornado, evacuating your town ... many of those times you will need to re-build your life in one way or another. By having a binder with all the necessary documents, you can easily manage your life and take care of yourself.
Here is a fantastic link with a perfectly detailed list for that emergency binder. There was LOTS of great feedback in the comments section for ideas. It had the most complete list I found of any other site.

So to re-cap ... get water, and get your important documents (and put them in a safe place)!
