Should there be a terrorist attack in your community, public services like water and electricity may be shut off. You may not be able to get to a store for food, supplies and medicine. In a worst case you may have to evacuate. Having a disaster supply kit prepared ahead of time is critical.

Your kit should contain:

• Water - at least one gallon per person per day for three days
• Nonperishable food - at least a three- to seven-day supply
• Prescription medicines and their original bottles
• Battery-operated radio
• Blankets and pillows
• Can opener
• Civilian MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat)
• Dust masks
• Extra cash
• Eye protection
• First aid kit
• Flashlight and batteries
• Garbage bags and plastic ties
• Hygiene products
• Identification
• Moist towelettes
• Plastic sheeting and duct tape
• Special supplies for infants including diapers and formula
• Special supplies for pets including pet food and proof of vaccinations
• Toilet paper
• Utility knife
• Work gloves
• Other items specific to your family
