Whether on a holiday (Columbus Day) or Federal mandatory furlough, today is a great day to make and update/check your Emergency Supply Kit.

What to include? What to keep? What to have?

Some items you want to include in your kit are:

• Bottled water for you for 3 days.
• Food for you for 3 days.
• Two working flashlights.
• A battery-powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather radio.
• Toilet paper.
• A whistle to notify/warn others.
• First Aid Kit.
• Duct tape.
• Extra cell phone charger.

And I’d bet you have most of these items around your house ready to go.

So gather your things and get ready…because I guarantee you these few things will help you during the next a disaster or emergency.
