Be Prepared: Emergency Supply Kit Checklist

Having a well-stocked emergency supply kit can mean the difference between an inconvenience and a crisis. Remember to keep your kit in a waterproof container and check it yearly to make sure it's up to date. It's also a good idea to keep a smaller version in your car in case of sudden emergencies.
