About

This webpage provides instructions on how to build, maintain, and store an emergency disaster supplies kit. It's important to maintain the kit by replacing expired items and updating it yearly as family needs change. Kits should be kept at home, work, and in cars to ensure readiness wherever you are during an emergency. It is available in several languages. This resource is related to a PPN podcast titled "Head Above Water."
