Be sure to discuss these plans with everyone in the household, including children and older family members - and don’t forget to include your pets in the plan. Every household should have a basic emergency supply kit that can be quickly accessed if needed. At a minimum, consider including: Store the kit in an easy-to-reach location and review it at least once a year to replace expired items. Not sure where to start?
