My excellent source http://www.Americanpreparedness.com is a business I know of who is a US Army Veteran out of the State of Washington. Visit his site for some additional kits. He also has large VOLUME kits for churches, schools, govt agencies, businesses.

Have 1-2 Alternative Communication Sources:
26 Mile two-way handheld radios, A handheld CB (Uniden. (as there were NO phonelines, no cells phones, no satellite phones would work or were down)

Have 1-2 Propane tanks stored both for an alternative heat & cooking source (gas, electricity did not work for 8 weeks in Cameron Parish, LA -Not a media covered area btw that was obliterated)

Buy 1-2 Extra Vehicle Batteries (buylong storage life, 900 cranking amp or Marine batteries) and 1-2 power inverters to attach to the batteries (buy at any local auto store) These can power basic applicances, Laptops, and other items if you can not get or afford a larger power generator)I keep one power invert right under the front seat of my truck, so I will always have a power source with plug outlets to run off my vehicle)

Obtsin a secure USB Device ( IronKey.com) scan and store ALL absolute critical documents, ID’s, Drivers Lic, local emergency center resources list/family contacts list, credit and bank accounts with hyperlinks built to some sort of spread sheet) If you are displaced, end up living in a hotel loose absolutely everthing, these can help prove who you are, file for federal help, and help with Unsurance claims no matter where you end up

Try to Buy Red Cross Certified Emergency Kits! Why? Many are made overseas, some contain lead in products, cheap materials that may not work in a time of an emergency as well as may contain other hazardous materials considerations, safe food/product certifications and expirations dates ( some expire sooner than the born on dates) or have no born on expiration dates. Check your dates. MRS Disposal now have environment concerns with the heat activated ones. Be aware of how you dispose to them. Re: Toxins and such.

Test your supplies and make sure they are of good queality and working order and that you and family member know HOW to use them. Case in point I recently tested our 26 mile hand held two way radios from my house to my dauthers house six miles away (she 25 years old, but consider your younger childrens ages as well in operational use of supplies if adults are injured etc) it took some talking through( an hour of our time) the steps so she would know which channels for us all to talk on and how to program that/lock it in and actually talk back and forth so we could understand each other.

Lastely, All street signs were obliterated, all known landmarks as previously known to exist were unrecognizable-gone. In other words, consider owning a GPS, google maps secondary meet up points and or hardcopy maps (with GPS locations annotated with some key reference points)

Plan where primary meeting points are in advance and map them on google, and sent to all family mambers. 8-12 hours after, 12-24 hours after, 24-36 hours after, 7 days after – if need be and in the event of relcoation, evacuation.
Just a few thoughts

We have almost everything on your list, but I don’t have the space for 20 gallons of water. Any tips for apartment living?
