Build a Kit Game
Go through different locations with Gayle and her friends to find what you need for an emergency kit. Have fun and build a checklist along the way.

Build a Kit
How would you find out whether it was safe to play outside? Not from your TV or computer! Being prepared means having your own food, water, and other supplies to last for at least three days, and possibly longer if you are in a remote or hard-to-reach area. Remember that your kit will depend on your own needs. Once you take a look at the basic items, consider what unique needs your family might have, such as supplies for pets or seniors.

Make a Plan
Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find. Don’t forget to consider specific needs in your household. Then, practice your plan.
