Emergency preparedness planning is essential to keeping yourself and your family healthy in an emergency situation. If we learned anything from New Orleans it’s that the government and agencies can not be relied on when a true disaster happens.

As far as gaming goes, I think every character of mine in modern games has a kit like this in the trunk of the car or in the closet just in case.

What would you do if you lost power for a day? What about a nasty storm knocking out transport to your area for a week? What if you had to evacuate your home because of a wild fire?
A little emergency preparedness can go a long way. Spending an hour or two today, along with a few dollars, can make sure that you have less to worry about in the event of an emergency. And if you’re worrying about a bad storm or a wild fire, I think that any peace of mind that being prepared can bring you is worth the effort.
So what do I think is important in an evacuation bag?
A basic first aid kit
A map
A flashlight with spare batteries
A blanket
change of clothing, with extra underwear and socks
Soap and a few other basic hygiene supplies
A coat
Medication
A recent back up of important computer files
Copies of important documents, such as birth certificates and Social Security cards
An inventory (for insurance purposes)
A list of important phone numbers
Snacks
A deck of cards or other entertainment
