7 Steps Week 18

I have a challenge for you:  This week, for 15 minutes each day…work on some of the steps in those weeks that you have so conveniently filed in a folder.  Yes, I know most of you have these e-mails….tucked snugly away to do “sometime”.  OK….so this week accomplish something.  Kids are in school, no more vacations…it’s time to start. 
15 minutes a day…..Have a great week!!


 WEEK 18

1.  Add prescription eye glasses to all 72 hour kits, when appropriate.

2.  Purchase or find a container to hold your pet’s 72 hour kit. This could be a back pack, messenger bag, or even a bucket with a lid.

3.  Add biohazard bags, both large and small, to your 72 hour kits and also to your car kit. Biohazard bags are wonderful because they are red in color and say hazardous materials right on the side. You will want top use these to line a port-a-potty. It is easy to tell children the stuff in the red bag is dangerous so don’t touch it, keeping them safe. If you use a regular plastic garbage bag be sure you label it clearly and brightly so everyone can tell the difference between these bags and bags of trash or debris.

4.  Sweeten things up! Add 10 pounds of white sugar, 2 pounds of brown sugar and 2 pounds of powdered sugar to your storage.

5.  Add two gallons of water to your supply. You can fill bleach bottles, canning jars or other containers with a tight fitting lid or you can purchase water at the store.

6.  Print the Water Storage article from Totally Ready. Study it and add it to your binder.

7.  Add a one month supply of hand soap to your storage and a small bar to your 72 hour kits. This is one of the items you should have dated and if you did, you will know how many to purchase for a month.
