October Emergency Preparedness - Update your 72 Hour Kit and First Aid Kit



Update your 72 Hour Kit

This month is a good time to update your 72 Hour Kit.

Repack with winter clothes instead of summer clothes.

Check for expired food and water and update as needed.

Replace medications that have expired.  Add 3 days of new medications and eliminate those no longer needed.

Review your copies of legal documents and make new copies of those that have changed.  View the Legal Document Suggestions page at the top of the blog for paperwork you may want to have copies of.

Update your First Aid Kit

Replace any missing and expired items.

Add new items that apply to any new situation such as new family member(s), new medications, allergy changes, etc.
