Time Change... and Time To Check Your Emergency Kit!
With the upcoming change to Daylight Savings Time this Sunday, I wanted to remind everyone to:
Disasters can occur anywhere, at anytime. An emergency stockpile should include a three- to seven-day supply of nonperishable food and water for each person in the home.
Recommended items for emergency supply kits include at least one gallon of water per person per day, flashlights, batteries, portable radio, extra clothing (including good walking shoes and/or boots), first-aid kit, copies of important documents, pet food and supplies, medications and personal hygiene supplies for each family member. Most of this can fit in a large garbage can (33 or 45 gallon), as you can see on the left.
For more information, including a list of emergency supplies, see the Web sites at www.ready.gov or www.bepreparedcalifornia.ca.gov.
- Check/change your batteries in your smoke detectors
- Change your clock (Spring forward!)
- Check your emergency supplies kit (You do have one, don't you???)
