Plan ahead for emergencies

When preparing for a possible emergency situation, it's best to think first about the basics of survival: fresh water, food, clean air and warmth. These are important items that everyone needs to consider before a natural disaster or terrorism event occurs.

In many instances, it will be too late to get these items after an event has taken place. If a large area is affected, it may take up to several days before authorities are able to assist you, so it is important to be self-sustaining until help can arrive.

This list may not include all the items you and your family may need, but it provides a good starting point for preparing yourself.
