Food Storage Makeover: Disaster Kits Part Two

Posted on February 1st, 2010 by Jodi and Julie

Today is the DAY! We got Grandma Lori’s disaster kits all purchased and compiled and she is very excited with the results. We started out this phase of our Food Storage Makeover by discussing the three different options available for disaster kits. After some discussion, we found a solution that worked well for Grandma Lori. Check out our video below to see our discussion and the final results!

We have had a lot of people ask us about options for buying kits that are already put together. We got the one in the video from Emergency Essentials who has a huge selection of different kits you can purchase depending on your family’s needs. We will be doing a post later this month discussing some of the different options. (*hint* There just MAY be a giveaway associated with that post!)

p.s. We came up with a really fun way to get the whole family involved in putting together your kits that we will be sharing with you soon, so stay tuned!

    I am making my Disaster Kits and I have several children. Should I put my older children's clothes in with mine or should they carry a smaller backpack with some clothes and a water bottle and things? It seems like my kit is growing...
  • Personally, I would make a separate backpack for each child that is able to carry one. Include their own food and clothing in their pack. This will help ease your load plus in case you get separated they will have their own necessities.

    I lived thru the Northridge, CA quake.
    That Bug out or Go bag will not be on the shelf.
    The whole shelf can come down. Keep one under your bed
    tied to the foot of the bed. Have several in different places of
    the house. Cause you never know which room will get hit the hardest
    or where you will be.

    One thing to clarify is that everyone needs an emergency whistle. During emergencies or natural disasters you may become separated, or might not be together in the first place.
