How We Are Ready for "Anything"

We like to be prepared in this house. I am going to share our emergency kits with you, and how to get your hands on the goods we used to make sure we are safe when/if distaster strikes.

This kit is good for fires or floods as well as immediate evacuation.

We also have a first aid kit specifically packed in case we need to evacuate the house. It includes:

Our kits are built with the idea of a natural disaster striking, and help not being available immediately. We also have the idea that long term kits are just as important as the 24-72 hour kit we created because if you home is destroyed, you will want to take what's most important with you. We home you find this list helpful. If you want to learn more about us, please com say hi at www.joeyandlana.com
