It’s very important to be aware of what disaster comes to your area to be able to be prepared. Either way, you need to be ready for anything. Thanks for the great information.

This is really great information. I need to do this. I was around for the whole Y2K thing, so it’s like I’m numb to the reality of needing this stuff!

I will definitely be learning from your kit. I have one and it is not that good. I used to work with Public Safety and it is so important to be prepared.

My husband and I have been preparing a bug-out bag for awhile. We’ve got most all of these along with a water purification system. It was a bit pricey, but in the event of an emergency, we’ll be glad we did.
I used to think this was a bit overboard. Now I think it’s smart.

Thank you for this detailed info on how to prepare an Emergency kit. Same here, we have a medicine cabinet.

My husband keeps his ridiculous truck packed with all the survival items. He doesn’t have a go bag, he has a go-truck! One of the things we have found most useful are headlamps. They last a long time and are easy to pocket so as not to get misplaced.
Ziplock bags are great for almost any reason, and candles really add to the mood.

Great article and thanks for the checklist! I hope my hubby is not an extremist . . .

I haven’t heard of this show before, but you offer some great tips. My dad always insisted I carry around an emergency kit in my car, too. And I still do to this day.

Thanks for this valuable tip, I admit that we never had an emergency kit. We do have a medical kit but we need to have the emergency kit as well.

Doomsday Preppers may take things to the extreme, but they’ve got the basics down — all of which you nailed in your post. It isn’t until a disaster actually strikes that you realize that there are certain essentials you’ll always want to have around. Thank you for posting this guide.

Definitely a good idea to be prepared in case of an emergency–which reminds me–I have to change the batteries in my flashlights and in my battery powered radio!!
