September is Emergency Preparedness Month! We have a kit for Evacuation (3) days worth, and a huge supply of foods to shelter in place or take with us if necessary.
Not just food ready, we have many of the recommended items packed up in one place near an exit. Flashlights, batteries, medications, clothes and shoes, water bottles are just some of the basics.
Taking your elder along will cost you more time.....pre-pack!
Do you have Depends and Ensure in your emergency kit?
What else?
Because of the fires, it was strongly recommended to be able to leave in 5 minutes, so I am putting some things in the car.
We have never left in 5 minutes, ever!
Thanking (U.S.) to (Canada) for their arrival of Super Scoopers yesterday in Southern California!

A tip for water and Ice. Keep your bottled water in the freezer. And or thoroughly wash out milk jugs and freeze water in them. You can also freeze juice boxes. It is a great way to keep things cold without having to deal with pooling water.
