Are you prepared for disaster?

Tweet

I just watched a man on the street type show that asked people at random if they were prepared for a natural (or man-made) disaster. I'm no expert but I found some of their answers rather funny. One woman said she still had all her ravioli left from the Y2K scare. The experts say that for a disaster you need five gallons of water per person per day, food for a week, first-aid kit, plenty of flashlights and batteries, essential medications for at least a week and essential documents. Another site I read said you should have one backpack for every person and in that back pact you should have at least one change of clothes, bottled water, snacks, medication that person may need and personal items. Make sure to switch those items out every few months so the clothes still fit and the snacks aren't stale. Do you have any plans made for a disaster or are you one of those silly people that thinks the government will take care of you.
