I grew up in NZ and we were always told to have a "survival kit" in case of earthquake, also including canned food and bottled water. Problem is all these useful things often get used and not put back! The challenge is maintaining the kit once you start it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5642849678842737509.post-33417585721704588662011-03-02T18:00:41.799-08:002011-03-02T18:00:41.799-08:00I like the idea of an emergency box with everythin...I like the idea of an emergency box with everything you need in the one place. The issue I always have is that the kids freak out when the lights go out and won't let me leave them to go out find everything we are going to need. having it all ready and in a convenient place like the kitchen would be a great idea.

One in the house and one in the car. I also recommend if you live in the bush, a generator, even if it's a small one. You will appreciate running water in your bathroom lol, but seriously it helps in long term power outages. The only downfall is you need to make sure you have enough fuel on hand at all times. <br />Your list will be ever changing and make sure every 6 months you check your supply box.<br />Sami Jaetwisted soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823964541981230478noreply@blogger.com
