Emergency Kit

Last year my parents asked me what our family wanted for Christmas.
I told them I needed help getting my 72 hour kit started.


Since having Bridget I have discovered a new character trait in me: the protective mama bear.


Well one thing about my dad is he is a fantastic gift giver. He does his research! You will be amazed as I walk you through the emergency kit they gave us.


In fact, yesterday Utah had a state-wide Earthquake Drill. Experts are expecting a 7+ earthquake to hit Utah in the next 50 years. This drill was supposed to help assess how we were doing on an emergency preparedness front.
I thought it would be appropriate to share this kit with you in case you need help knowing where to start.


This is it: Rolling Duffle Bag (I saw this exact bag at Costco last night).

 I will take you through it, pocket by pocket:

 I need to by sure to add a tube of toothpaste.

(the silver shield wipes are disinfecting wipes)

I still have to put together a backpack for each family member with clothes, food, and personal items. 

I also need to make a 72 hour kit for Trevor to take and store at work. 

Last year when the Japan Tsunami hit I was working for Xango. We had an office in Japan, luckily all of the employees were safe, however, they were stuck in the office for 2 days. They could not get home for 2 days! It made me realize we have to be prepared wherever we are.

Hope this helps.
