Wildfires, earthquakes, and other disasters are a real threat in our area. Everyone should have a readily accessible emergency supply kit. Backpacks work great for storing these items (except food and water) and are quick to grab. Some items to include a three-day supply of non-perishable food (and donā€™t forget food for your pets); prescription medication; change of clothing; extra eyeglasses; extra set of car keys, credit cards, and cash or travelerā€™s checks; first aid kit and flashlight; important documents such as birth and marriage certificates, passports, and driverā€™s license; battery powered radio and extra batteries, and sanitation supplies. Always keep a sturdy pair of shoes and a flashlight near your bed and handy in case of a sudden evacuation at night. Reporting for Z107.7, this is managing editor Tami Roleff.
