Carry it all? It is called a Go Kit for a reason. #NatlPrep
It’s still National Preparedness month and it’s the start of week-3 focusing in on practicing and building out your plans.
GO kit sounds great, but if you have a hard time moving your go kit(s), then it’s likely a no kit. Make sure your go kits are light and lean.
Seriously bag lady, make sure you can carry it all!

Don’t keep your family in the dark about your plans! #NatlPrep
Help your family prepare well before an emergency like simple tools like flashlights.
Don’t leave your family in the dark! #PlanAhead by purchasing flashlights early. Last minute run to the store will yield nothing. #NatlPrep
Make sure your family has all the tools they need to weather the storm or emergency (<–see what I did there?)
Be the beacon of light in your family on preparedness.
Cans with pop tops? Nah, You’ll definitely need to plan for this #NatlPrep
When planning for tools in your kits for your family and friends, canned goods are great, but don’t forget about the….
PlanAhead to include a can opener in your emergency preparedness kits. Bec you never know when it might come in handy. #NatlPrep

#PlanAhead for better food options in your emergency preparedness kit #NatlPrep
Accounting and preparing your food for three days per person seems easy, but you’ll have to do better nutrition planning than just cans of vienna sausage and cup-o-noodles.
Make sure you PlanAhead for your favorite #MRE in your emergency preparedness kit otherwise you will have an unsavory disaster. #NatlPrep
MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) is a great resource for your kit. Plan accordingly as you should find the right flavor that meets your needs. There are various flavors now including (vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, etc…)
IMHO, hot sauce/sriracha is still critically important.
Choose wisely and improve your chances during a disaster.

#PlanAhead for your emergency food supply!
If you evacuate – plan to TAKE YOUR #PETS WITH YOU! #Preparedness #NatlPrep
No matter what kind of family pet you have, please make sure when you evacuate that you take your pets with you!
Evacuating? Fur sure take your pets w/ you & bring their pet emergency preparedness kit that has food + water + meds + IDs #NatlPrep
Your plan should identify specific shelters that can shelter your pets. Big or small!
Also, if your pet is soaked because of the rain, that’s not fun. So keep an extra pet rain coat handy too.High viz is extra awesome too.
Need a few more ideas for your pet preparedness kit? My pet preparedness kit includes a 3×5 notecard with
- her name
- her basic information (breed, name, phone, medications)
- owner information (our names, address, phone, emails, twitter handles)
- her vet name and contact information
- vaccination records
- her backup dog tags
- and a 24-hour emergency vet clinic with emergency surgery capability

Carabiners help keep your documents dry #NatlPrep
People often ask me about my backpack and what I carry in there all the time. Many inquire about the large locking carabiner on the top grab handle.
Plan to include several carabiners that will allow you to hang your important items up and away from flood waters. #NatlPrep
I always keep my important documents (like copies of insurance cards, family communications plan, and out of state contacts) away from flood/wet areas. The carabiner allows me to hang my bag anywhere so my important documents never get wet.
My important documents are off the floor in the bathroom!
When putting together your kit, always include carabiners as they are multi-functional.
Another pro tip: Do NOT get a cheap carabiner, get sturdy rugged carabiners.

And I know, you got the case of the MUNDAYS – so for sure we might have a few headaches.So make sure your planning includes extra medications for everyone in your family.
Make a medications list and plan to maintain an extra 3-5 days of your meds in your emergency preparedness kit. #NatlPrep
Never know when you might have to use some meds.
