Great post! We have emergency water but I need to check it since it’s quite old
My husband picked up some emergency items yesterday. Maybe he knew what you were going to post

In Malaysia, unless our pipes are out of water (which is very rare), we are strongly advised to boil our water

Great tackle! I also have a folder (like a trapper-keeper) with all of our important documents (birth certificates, insurance info, mortgage info) inside. In case of an emergency, I know right where to go and I can grab it all quickly.

That is a great tackle. Unfortunately, this house is way short of storage space. But it would be good to put away a few things, at least.

I’ve really missed this the last couple of weeks!!

I just got back from the store and you reminded me that I forgot to get bottled water! AH! No storms here, but I wanted to fight the holiday crowd!

thanks for the reminder. NC gets a lot of rainstorms this time of year so it’s a god idea to stock up on things like water, batteries, food, etc…

Great Tackle! We have 5 cases of water, a generator, a wind up radio and flash light, more flashlights than we know what to do with, a case of MRE’s, extra batteries, and extra gas for the generator. My father in law prepared us (except for the generator-we bought that later) after the black out of 2003. I’m sure we could do more though. My tackle is up and has a Thanksgiving theme:)

Thanks for the heads up about Tackle it Tuesday!

We have a supply of water, and also food. Our church has been advising us to have a years supply for decades. You can use it for more than just natural disasters, like in times of a job loss, or illness when you can’t get the the store. The key is to rotate and keep things fresh.

Great ideas! Is it sad that I really just don’t want to think about being prepared for an emergency? Nah, it’s probably human nature. I remember thinking about this when Katrina hit (not near us- we watched on TV) and wishing I could just nurse my babies forever… in case of emergency, I’d be sure to have what they needed!

So glad to finally be able to participate. I hope this gives me the kick in the pants to keep going today. Thanks for all the great ideas!!! It also feels great to know that there are others working at the same time.
