72-hour kits

Quite frankly I've run out of enthusiasm for this but I did promise to do it so here is yet another instalment on emergency preparedness. If you're not sure where to start with the whole preparedness thing then 72-Hour Kits are a good place to start, it's about the most basic level of preparedness. A 72-hour kit would be helpful in an earth quake, tornado/hurricane, car accident, getting lost, etc. You should have a kit for each person that's in your home and you should keep at least one in your car. You can buy ready made kits or you can make your own. If you want to make your own or if you're just curious to learn more about 72-hour kits try here or here.
Another tip in general is to always keep your gas tank half full, that way if something happens and you're far away from home, you're won't get stuck with the gas light on.
