Emergency Preparedness

Blake has really been complaining a lot lately that I spend too much time on pinterest and not enough time blogging.
"It just doesn't replace blogging." He says.
And he says he likes to have something to read.
So today in institute we talked about some emergency preparedness. I have a break until 12:15 so here I am blogging about it.
I then got on Pinterest (blogging and pinterest, unite!) and found a website with some tips on how to get it started with a week by week basis. So you don't break the bank :)

Week 1: Obtain a suitable 72-hour kit container (backpack, duffel bag, garbage can with lid). Make sure you have one kit for every member of your family, even children. (If you have a baby/child in diapers, buy an extra pack this week)

Week 2- Check the batteries in your smoke detector

Week 3- Place a flashlight next to your bed and one in an alternate location; check batteries on both of them.



Week 4- Add 1 1/2 gallons of water per person in your family to 72-hour kit.


Week 5- Add $10 cash to 72 hour kit. (The smaller the bills, the better!)


Week 6- Add a can opener to 72-hour kit.



Week 7- Add 2 cans tuna fish/canned meat to 72-hour kit.



Week 8- Add 1 large roll of paper towels to 72-hour kit.



Week 9- Add 1 blanket to 72 hour kit.



Week 10- Add $10 cash to 72-hour kit.



Week 11-Add 4 rolls of toilet paper to 72 hour kit
 
Week 12- Add 1 bar of soap to 72-hour kit.
 
There you have it. and here is a link for 72- hour kits. I know I'm gunna print this off and DO IT!
