I think it’s time to be prepared for disaster. Disaster can strike at any time and with the recent earthquake in Thailand and Cyclone in Burma, it’s easy to see just how fragile things can be even if you are prepared. Think how much worse things could be if you aren’t prepared.
It’s a good idea to keep a backpack for every family member filled up with food and important items in case of disaster. In my backpack, I have flash drive filled with scanned copies of all of my family’s important papers. I have packs of crackers with a peanut butter. I’ve got a couple cans of corned beef. I have a flashlight and an extra set of batteries. I have drinking water. I know it’s not a full 72 hour kit, but I do have some things on hand for emergencies.
