For severe weather season everyone should have a disaster kit ready to go. You can keep this kit in your safe room/tornado shelter or in an easy to carry container or bag that you can take with you if necessary. SOME of the items your kit should have include:
- Water
- Food – non-perishable, easy to prepare (hand operated can opener)
- Flashlight
- Battery powered or hand crank radio (NOAA Weather radio if possible)
- Extra batteries
- First Aid Kit
- Medications
- Multi-purpose tool
- Sanitation/personal hygiene items
- Cell phone
- Family & emergency contact info
- Blankets
- If you have children you might want things to keep them occupied like coloring books or card games
