Investing Time - Week 4

Now that we've spent time arming our cars and purses with emergency preparedness kits, we need to think of our homes. If you had to leave your home because of some unforeseen emergency, right now, would you have the right tools to take care of you and your family?

Make a pack that you can grab at a moments notice. Place it where you can grab it on your way out whether that be near a back door, front door, etc...

Here's a list of items to keep inside:

FOR YOUR HOME

  • change of clothes & shoes (we saved old shoes, the younger children can wear the older ones shoes in a pinch)
  • bottled water (we have a box of capri sun drinks too)
  • a small blanket or two
  • some non perishable snacks for as many as are in your family
    (we have dried fruits, oats, & cereals)
  • maybe a couple of reading books (a bible?)

Use with the emergency kits you have in your car & purse and you should be all set!
