Give the gift of preparation...chances are you already have many of these items already around the house.
Build Your Own 5 Gallon Bucket Emergency Kit
In many cases, it’s better to create your own emergency kit.
First of all, it gives you a certain intimacy with your kit – you know exactly what’s in there because you were the one who researched it and put it in there! If you’ve put something in there that you don’t fully understand how to use, you can learn that skill long before the flood or earthquake event that could make last-minute skill acquisition impossible.
Secondly, putting together your own kit means you can custom tailor it to what’s important to you, your family and your community. For example, in our family we have a lot of allergies – some that can kill one of us very quickly. That’s why an EpiPen is a critically important part of our emergency supply but might not be relevant at all for other families.
Lastly, assembling your supplies yourself could save you money. You’ll be able to include many household materials you already have, and you can get a better deal on the items you do need to buy by cutting out the middleman. http://fivegallonideas.com/emergency-kit/
And don't forget about your vehicle, you probably spend significant time in it...http://tinyurl.com/70-Piece-Explorer-Road-Assista
