Detailed Non-Food Emergency Supply List:

(This is a fairly comprehensive list of possibilities for emergency Preparedness. Adjust according to your own family’s needs & preferences.)

*To start working on your supply, add emergency prep supplies as part of your weekly or monthly budget (which ever works best for you). Start with your water supply, then a 90 day supply of foods you normally eat. Click on this link for a 3 month food supply excel worksheet that is great for helping you calculate how much food you'll need for a 3 month supply: http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/babysteps/step-3-three-months-of-normal-food/ .Work on the items on this list that you feel your family needs along with working on your food supply, but remember, food & water are the most important. You will need things to cook with and other items that go along with your water and food storage so prioritize the list and work on getting the items that you feel are the most important. Feel free to add to this list or get rid of what you wouldn't use.

Water:

50 gallon water storage containers (minimum 1 gallon per person per day)

Notes:

* You can never afford it. You have to make self-reliance & preparedness a priority!

*Use gift giving times as an opportunity to get & give emergency Prep items.

* Ask yourself, “Can I eat or survive off this?” when tempted to buy unnecessary items, or toys, until your supply is built up

*If you have the space, designate one closet or area to non-perishable emergency preparedness. It makes it easier to keep track of what you have and keeping these things separate from what you use will make it so you don’t have to keep redoing inventory. Stock up, set aside and don’t worry.

* Put together a 72-hour kit for each family member. Calendar twice a year to go through them and rotate out the food, water and other items that have been grown out of.

*Along with your 72-hour kit, make a list of things you want to grab in case of an evacuation (for example: photos, wedding rings, irreplaceable memorabilia, extra supplies that your 72-hour kits couldn’t hold, etc. Be specific with your list so when the time comes, and yourthoughts are flustered, you can just look at the list, grab the items, and go.

*Always plan for the worst, meaning No electricity, No water, No gas, No phones, No access to stores, No fridge or freezer, etc. If you plan for the worst, you’ll be prepared for it.

*Try to learn one new thing a day about emergency prep. The internet is a great tool. YouTube has all kinds of step-by-step videos of how to do things like can & jar foods & how to organize food storage, etc. When you find useful information, print it off & put it in a file or notebook designated to Emergency Prep so you have it when the need arises.

*You don’t have to fear the events that are going to happen in the future. If you’re prepared you will look forward to the future & be excited to use the products and knowledge you’ve gained.

*Suffer in Comfort.

*If you are worried about space, think through the stuff you already own. Most likely you have extra toys, TVs’, furniture, etc that you could part with. If it came down to it, which would you rather have to eat, a Mr. Potato head or a can of potatoes?

*There are so many different things that could happen; earthquakes, tornados, floods, fires, famines, plagues, etc. Sometimes it’s hard for us to know where to start or what area to focus on, but God knows what is coming. He knows what we personally will need the most. The best preparedness is to be spiritually prepared, so God can prompt us as to what we need to do to prepare. If there is something that keeps coming to your mind or that you’re really worried about, just start working on that thing, one step at a time. Doing something is better than doing nothing. You’ll make mistakes and have to learn from trial and error, but if you stick with it, it just gets easier & easier. You’ll also be blessed for following counsel that has been given.
