Welcome to week 6 of Emergency Preparedness. This week we will be putting together our hygiene kits and stocking our pet survival kits. If you are in a natural disaster or emergency & you need to leave your home quickly, you will need a hygiene kit that will serve your needs for at least 72 hours. Trust me, you need a hygiene kit!!! You will also need a pet survival kit for your 4 legged friends. Make sure to place a hygiene kit in each backpack. Once you have completed this step, you are ready to begin week 7, comfort items.

MONEY SAVING TIP
Shop for your hygiene kit with things you already have in your bathroom cabinets! Use the extras you already have, including your old wash cloths. For the pet kit, use your current dog/cat food and place 3 days of serving sizes into ziploc baggies. There are many ways to save money creating your emergency kits.
