Taking Action with your Plan

Once you have a plan, you should start taking action and making the necessary preparations needed to get your survival equipment ready.

Writing Lists 

If you want to make sure you have taken into account everything, you should make sure you have a list you can check off, on what has been completed in your preparation planning.

Always remember to have all your medical information, medications, emergency contacts, and any other useful information.

Emergency Supply Area

In your car, office, home, and wherever else you might be during a crisis, make sure you have an area for your  emergency supplies you can have access to at any point and time.

Food Storage

When storing food, keep all food sources in airtight bags or containers. Always have extra containers on standby for any cans, boxes, or bags that are opened for use.  Keep them organized for easy finding.
