What Documents To Keep And Grab...

"TIP
Keep copies of your most important documents in a single location so they'll be easy to grab in case you need to evacuate your home. Some items to include in that pile: passports; statements with important account numbers from banks, brokerages, utilities, and credit cards; family immunization records; Social Security numbers, computer PINs, and passwords; and photos of your family for identification." -- Shop Smart Magazine

Three Months Storage

Three Months Storage

We should all prepare for the unexpected events in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings.

You should never go into debt to establish your food storage. It is more wise to build your food storage over time. You should only store as much as circumstances allow.

What should you store? "Build a small supply of food that is part of your normal, daily diet. One way to do this is to purchase a few extra items each week to build a one-week supply of food. Then you can gradually increase your supply until it is sufficient for three months. These items should be rotated regularly to avoid spoilage."

With the food storage, it is vitally important that you have an adequate water supply. "Store drinking water for circumstances in which the water supply may be polluted or disrupted...If water comes directly from a good, pretreated source, then no additional purification is needed; otherwise, pretreat water before use. Store water in sturdy, leak-proof, breakage-resistant containers. Consider using plastic bottles commonly used for juices and soda...Keep water containers away from heat sources and direct sunlight."

You should include a financial reserve, and include cash (in small bills and change) in your home in a safe location in the case of emergency.

You don't need to fear if you are prepared!
