Bump into 2009. Every family/individual, regardless of situation, should have at the least 72 hour (3 day) emergency preparedness supplies.

This is a crucial BASIC concept recommended and taught by the American Red Cross and the Dept of Homeland Security, and a given for responsible inhabitants of hurricane zones!

search of "72 hour preparedness" leads to a wealth of information, such as http://members.tripod.com/laugh_lines/activitease/72.htm , http://www.mormonshare.com/relief-society/72-hour-kits.php , and http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2248253/posts .

thanks again, Utah Girl.
