Everyone should have someone they can call incase of an emergency and the phone number should be posted where it can be seen. Create an emergency supply kit with food, first aid, towelettes, flashlight, radio, tools, cash, candles, matches and batteries. Add other items as you see fit. You just need to buy a medium size plastic storage box to keep everything dry and safe. With all the weather changes in the world we should be prepared and pray that we never have to use it.
