So it is that time again, time to talk to you about your disaster kit. Why? Because its hurricane season, its tornado season and its always earthquake season where I live. We just finished a two day exercise called Evergreen Earthquake 2012. Lots of death, injuries and some very surprised people in the Emergency Operation Centers. Why? Because they realized that they couldn't get the assets to open a shelter in 1,2,3 days. That is normal for a major event. So imagine your house, condo apartment fell down during a Hurricane, Tornado or Earthquake. Now what?
I do not want to tell you what you already know, make a plan, figure out what you need and start slowly to put it together. A nice list in the below article.

Thanks for preparing, so we in Emergency management don't have to worry about you for a few days in an event.
