Preparing an Emergency Kit

Preparing an Emergency Kit in Plain English by Common Craft gives a quick look at how to create a very, very, very basic emergency kit (aka a bugout bag).
 
Tens of millions of Americans live on flood plains, in hurricane zones, in earthquake zones, in tornado alleys, fire zones, and in terrorist-targeted cities, suburbs and towns, yet few have a basic emergency kit.  

Instead, tens of thousands line up at he hardware and grocery store the day before a disaster strikes in the rush to get emergency supplies, which is a staple of local news stories. 

Avoid that nightmare. 

Get it done BEFORE the disaster. 

Take the simple steps shown in this Common Craft video and you and your family will be better prepared.
