I probably wouldn’t leave the emergency binders in the car, because of all the personal information in there- things can get stolen out of cars. Putting 72 hour kits in cars is a great idea though. Make sure to pay attention to how hot or cold it may get in there when planning though

We have two homes and three cars, in an emergency our evacuation spot would likely be our remote farm house (no chance of flooding etc) In an emergency out there, we would go back to our house in the city (now a rental-no tornados…) I am thinking of making 2 sets of 72 hours kits and two binders one at each house, or should I really think about one set for each car instead? Ideas?

Your site is very nice and, obviously, you’ve put a lot of work into it. But your 72 hour kit recommendations are, at best, short sighted and irresponsible. In an evacuation situation adults are working hard and stressed and the meals you are suggesting are just not enough to maintain the calorie and nutrition requirements necessary. To think a full grown adult can function effectively on a granola bar, a cup of soup and a small container of beef stew is naive. Kids are typically bored in these situations and will plow through this amount of food in less than a day if not supervised and rationed. And the water amounts you’re suggesting just aren’t realistic. A gallon of water per person per day is the minimum when you’re including it in your food preparation. Your intent is good, but the reality of the execution is unrealistic.
