Is your disaster kit ready yet?

August 18, 2013

A disaster supplies kit is simply a collection of basic items your household may need in the event of an emergency.

Try to assemble your kit well in advance of an emergency. You may have to evacuate at a moment’s notice and take essentials with you. You will probably not have time to search for the supplies you need or shop for them.  Read more http://www.ready.gov/build-a-kit

Please note that here in Hawai‘i, we need to stock water and supplies for at least 7-10 days.  Most government websites recommend 3 days, and that is a reasonable supply if you live on the continental United States.  Islanders are dependent on container ships that take 7 days to get to Hawai‘i from Oakland or Los Angeles.
