Assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit
 
To prepare for emergencies, a first aid kit is one of those items that families should have ready at home. On this web site of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Head Start parents will find a listing of all supplies to have on hand in case of a disaster.

Assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit

You may need to survive on your own after a disaster. This means having your own food, water, and other supplies in sufficient quantity to last for at least three days. Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone immediately. You could get help in hours, or it might take days....

A disaster supplies kit is a collection of basic items that members of a household may need in the event of a disaster. More>>
