72 Hour Kits

We finally have our 72 hour kits completed. It has been stressed to be prepared because of the times and there are a lot of natural disasters and other things that will be arising soon. That is all I have heard. Andrey has stressed to me the importance he feels of getting our food storage up. We have such a little house that there is no where to put anything. Andrey started to put in new cupboards so one is designated for food storage only. We have a good start to it and feel comfortable so far. We just need to stock up on water (i'm not living off of Magna water...yuck!!!). =0)
Every Sunday that we go to my parent's house, we read more from the prepardness book and get different things ready: 72 hour kits, an emergency plan set up, etc.
We chose a spot where we would all meet if we were in the middle of a flood, fire, earthquake, etc. and my dad spent his $100 prize money from being the teacher of the year for each of us. They bought us food for 72 hours and we bought backpacks and separated and labeled all the food, posting the expiration dates on a calendar so we knew when to rotate the food.
I have our food packs together for the four of us and finished getting the clothes and sanitary itiems updated.
I am scared of the thought of having to use these, but I feel better now knowing that we are more prepared for a natural disaster.
