August Activites

Pretend a diaster has just happened in your area.  The police have come to evacuate the neighborhood.  You have 5 minutes to gather what you need to leave your home.  You have been informed that the roads are closed and you must walk to safety.  You will probably be able to return home in 2 to 3 days.  Set a timer and gather what you need.  Remember to bring only the most important items and a way to carry them.

Discuss what it would take to put together a 72 hour kit.  It does not need to be expensive.  Most of the items can be found in your own home.  It is important to store all of the items in one place, not throughout the house.  If there is an emergency it must be easy to grab and take with you.
