The Family Emergency Supplies & Preparedness Calendar is intended to help you take appropriate preparedness actions and
create a 72 hour family disaster kit before the next disaster happens. Using the calendar, your family can assemble a
disaster kit in small steps over a six month period. Check off each of the items you collect or the actions you take during the
week. Store individual items that could be damaged by moisture in airtight plastic bags and compile all items in a sturdy plastic
container with wheels, putting the heavy items at the bottom. When medical supplies, flashlights and emergency items are
placed near the top, they can be located quickly for inspecting and restocking. Remember to rotate your perishable supplies
and change water every six months.
Review this calendar every six months.
For example, each time you change your clocks
for daylight savings time, review this list.
Note: You should store 1 gallon of water per person for each day. This water is for consumption and sanitation. For this reason
the calendar repeats the need to
purchase water several times
.
