Emergency Preparedness Checklist

ChecklistThere is no reason to shop when the disaster is practically at your door step. Shop in advanced and sit back, knowing that you won’t have to worry about the store running out of water and other emergency supplies.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it is a good place to start:

  • Bottled Water
  • Canned Meat or Fish
  • Canned Vegetables and Beans
  • Ready-To-Eat Soup
  • Dry Cereal or Granola
  • Peanut Butter or Nuts
  • Canned or Dried Fruit
  • Medicines for Fever, Ibuprofen
  • Thermometer
  • First Aid Kit
  • Extra Prescription Medication
  • Flashlight and Batteries
  • Pet Food
  • Portable Radio
  • Manual Can Opener
  • Spare Batteries
  • Matches
  • Mosquito Repellant
  • Garbage Bags
  • Tissue and Toilet Paper
  • Soap
  • Unscented Household Bleach
  • Personal Products
  • Formula
  • Baby Food
  • Diapers
