How You Can Help During a Disaster
Emergency preparedness is crucial, now more than ever. With heightened terrorism alerts and the recent frequency of natural disasters, everyone should be taking the initiative to stock emergency food storage and set up a survival kit.

The Importance of Spare Clothing in your Survival Kit
When you are told that you have to evacuate your home and you only have 30 minutes what do you grab? Did you think to grab a change of clothes for everyone? What about extra shoes? While packing clothing might not seem as important as your family photo albums, making sure that your family is prepared does mean having spare clothes and shoes in your survival kit. Most people think of clothing as an afterthought and that they can go to the store and buy more clothes, but that won’t always be an option. If you were in a major...
