PREPAREDNESS GUIDE
Be prepared, not scared. Make small decisions to prepare your mind and home as much as you as you are able to in the season that you are in. If you can’t afford to prepare monetarily, work on gaining the skills to prepare your body, mind, and heart.

Complete Survival Kits
Quality kits with the supplies you need for the most critical 24 to 72 hours of an emergency situation, sized for you and your family. Planning ahead doesn't imply that you expect bad things to happen, but that you are prepared if they do.
Water
It is vital to have at minimum 3 days' worth of water on hand at all times. To calculate how much you need for your family considers that each person needs 1 gallon of water per day for drinking, washing + to prepare food. A family of 4 would need to have 12 gallons on hand. If you have pets, plan for extra.
