do you have an survival emergency kit? are you ready an emergency? i know i’m not, & i’m probably not alone. who knows when disaster could strike?! & i for one want to be prepared. you know what they say “better safe than sorry.”
locally, here in orange county, families are gathering supplies & necessities needed for what we are calling “the power of 3.” basically it’s an emergency preparedness plan that focuses on the first 3 minutes, the first 3 hours, the first 3 days, the first 3 months, and even the first year after a disaster.
i love the power of 3 plan – it’s a baby steps approach to emergency preparedness. perfect for someone like me!
so, if you aren’t fully prepared for an emergency, i encourage you gather your own supplies, & together we can become “ready.”
survival emergency kit {the first 3 minutes}
one drawstring backpack or plastic drawstring bag, containing:
* one pair of sturdy shoes
* one flashlight
* one pair of leather work gloves
* one whistle
* lightweight clothes
prepare one bag for each member of your family, and attach it to each bed in the house (or somewhere else that is easily accessible & unlikely to be moved).

see… what did i tell you? pretty painless eh? you probably have most of these supplies already laying around your house. all you had to do, was gather them all together, so when an emergency strikes, you don’t have to go searching for them. now, when disaster strikes, you’ll be prepared for those first 3 minutes. up next? survival emergency kit {the first 3 hours}.
