I made one up for each car. They sit by the door and can be grabbed quickly.

They include, but not limited to the following:

Bible

Spam slices (big enough to cut up into small squares, or eat whole.

Go Paks of crackers, and cookies.

Notebook and pen / pencil

Toilet Paper

Hard candy

water

toothbrush / toothpaste

hand wipes

deoderant (look in the travel size section at the market)

shampoo / conditioner

comb / brush

mouthwash

money

antacid

medical supplies

allergy meds

Everyone is different, because not everyone here eats the same

change of clothes

wind breaker

tarp

Extra ammo

When putting together a kit, most people figure at least 72 hours on their own.

I made the kits because of the members of family who travel alot. If they aren’t home when ‘something happens, they at least have things to get them through the ‘beginning’.

Hunker down at home types here. Living on the Gulf Coast, you plan and prepare...for everything you can.

Howdy fellow third coast resident. Rode out Alicia, Opal, Rita and Ike. Stayed at home. Have generator and lots of gas cans. Wife and kids are well trained in riding storms out and the aftermath. The key to all this is to be a boy scout and be prepared for major disruptions that may last a week or more. A person does a huge favor to the first responders by not being a burden on them. We start making hurricane preps over Memorial Day weekend. Once done, then we relax. Best of luck to you.
