How to Make a Disaster Supplies Kit

By now we have all heard how important it is to have our disaster kits ready.

This can seem overwhelming but there are several good websites that give us good lists to use to build our kits. Recently Champion Construction Systems joined Pinterest. I was looking through several boards that people have made about disaster kits and I  thought  there was several good tips we could all use.

• For Single ones and Couples: Pack a backpack with all your personal needs (meds and first-aid kit) and documents plus have a tub or suitcase  ready with blankets, flashlights, food and water for 3 days.
• For  Families: Pack a backpack for each individual with their personal  needs(meds and first-aid kit) and documents plus have a tub or suitcase ready with blankets, flashlights, food and water for 3 days.

Here are several websites that have good lists for emergency kits:
