And don't assume you'll get days' or even hours' notice. Get ready now. Every household needs a "Go Bag." This is a collection of items you may need if all ser- vices are cut off or you need to evacuate. It should be packed in an easy-to-carry container, such as a suitcase on wheels. Each family member also needs a Go Bag that contains enough basic supplies to last for 72 hours. Backpacks are great for individ- ual Go Bags. Each backpack should contain a change of clothing, a jacket or sweater, some food, an emer- gency lightweight blanket and copies of personal documents -- such as a photo ID, emergency phone numbers, the person's Social Security card, insurance cards and so on -- that are sealed in a zip-close plastic bag. When it's time to evacuate, each person grabs his or her backpack and a gallon of water and gets out. The family Go Bag should be com- pact enough to carry easily and fit in the trunk of the car, whose gas tank is never less than half- full. One reader sent this precise list of basics for the family Go Bag: ax, shovel, buck- et, utility knife, can open- er, at least $50 in small bills and coins, extra pairs of eyeglasses, pre- paid calling cards and medications. You will need basic nonper- ishable food items in the family box, for example, dried fruit or trail mix, soda, graham crackers, juice boxes, granola bars, beef jerky, cans of tuna, cans of pork and beans, dried milk, and hot chocolate mix. You'll need a bat- process to get prepared for an emergency. What you have in your head is the most important survival/first- aid equipment of all. Use your common sense. Rotate medications that have shelf lives, making sure the freshest are always in your Go Bag. Rotate food items and water at least once every three months. Give your Go Bags Mary Hunt tery-powered AM radio, battery-powered light and fresh batter- ies. Make sure you have packed a basic first-aid kit, paper, a pencil and, if possible, a camp stove with fuel. You'll want bug repel- lent, soap, toothbrushes, tooth- paste, disinfectant, garbage bags, matches in sealed and water- proof bags, and candles. Now, before you get discour- aged because the task seems overwhelming, let me assure you there is no perfect kit. Anything you can put together now is bet- ter than nothing. Take it one step at a time, thinking of it as a Everyday Cheapskate and water containers respectable homes on hooks or shelves close to an outside door. Make this a family project. Teach even your youngest child which backpack is his/hers, why it is special and what to do when the time comes to grab it and go. The more you can do now the more confident you'll be when the time comes to put your emer- gency preparedness into action.
