Create your Home Emergency Kit

An Emergency Kit contains essential items that you and other members of your household may need during and after a severe storm.  The Kit should be able to sustain you for at least three days in case essential services have been disrupted or you have been isolated by floodwater.  I use one of those large plastic containers on wheels. Goes in the shed/garage during winter, and is next to our kitchen during Queensland's summer.
