Emergency Supplies.

Once you have an emergency plan in place, probably the next thing to do would be to start collecting emergency supplies. Shelf Reliance has a handy tool to help you accomplish this task. Here you can create an emergency kit customized to your family's needs. It consists of products in four categories: shelter, food and water, first aid, and tools. Even if you can't purchase the whole kit, this still helps you see what sorts of things you should have.

First, you put in your last name.

Second, you list the members in your family and their ages.

Third, select a plan duration (1 to 14 day supply), plan strength (quality of products), plan type (traditional, school or travel). You can also pick certain disasters that you would like to be prepared for: volcano, tornado, flood, wild fire, terror attack, earthquake, urban unrest, hurricane and blizzard.
