It is important to prepare yourself and your family for emergencies and disasters BEFORE they hit. Otherwise you will be caught up in the mad rush of other unprepared souls in long lines at the stores as the shelves rapidly empty. We've all seen it happen... stores are incredibly crowded, sold out or close, auto accidents happen as people are driving in a panic, Everyone tries to stock up on the same supplies all at the same time as hundreds of others who thought it wouldn't happen to them or that they would "just get supplies when it happens."
Having supplies and plans in place can give you a feeling of security and ease worry. If you know you are ready and able to care for yourself, even without power and/or a safe water supply, you can relax and calmly put your plans into action. If you are not prepared, you will have a lot of stress and worry if a disaster hits or state of emergency is declared.
Do you care for multiple animals? When you have more animals than you can safely transport by yourself, you'll need a special plan to be sure all animals are cared for if you need to evacuate within minutes.
