We've been using our food supply (wheat, rice, etc) so we need to restock some of that. We've still got a LOT of food storage sealed in buckets. This disaster is causing me to relook what we have and what we might need to get back up to speed.
I need to relook my communications situation. I rely upon internet, phone, and cell phone and don't have any radios. We've only got one power company in the county and if it went down for an extended period of time, I would be cut off without comms.
I also need to review my bug out plan and what we would take and how we would take it.
This disaster is certainly a wake up call for people to review their preparations in case of any kind of disaster, attack, or whatever.
Exactly. My 72 hour kit is up-to-date, I rotate through everything at General Conference in Oct. My food storage is getting there, I got a new job and moved a couple of years ago and elected to not move the food storage with me. It does take a long time to get back to where I was, but I'm getting there. After watching the aftermath of Katrina, I threw a couple more books and a needlework kit into the 72 hour kit. I HATE to be bored. LOL.
Amen. I have many items needed for a 72 hour, but need to pack it. Its really scary to think about, but considering what we saw on the tv, its criminal not to do it. you never ever know.
That is a great idea! On-hand water storage with no hassles and no 55 gallon drums to rotate.
Who did the work and where did you find the items?
