After a disaster, your home emergency kit will be invaluable. Building a kit doesn’t take long and doesn’t have to be costly. Remember to add personal items, such as prescription medications and supplies for your pets. Also your family may not be together when an emergency occurs. Plan how to meet or how to contact one another, and discuss what you would do in different situations.
