This Month’s Frugal Living Tips:
==============================
72-Hour Emergency Kits:
The time to prepare for an emergency is long before the crisis occurs. By thinking ahead, organizing supplies, gathering equipment, and developing contingency plans, many emergencies can be met with confident resolve instead of frantic panic.
How do I begin to prepare?
Consider what type of emergencies might arise.
Outline a plan of action in case of each emergency.
Make a list of supplies you might need in case of emergency.
Obtain and organize emergency supplies in orderly, easily-accessible
kit(s), shelves, closets, etc.
Practice emergency drills with your family so everyone knows what to
do.
